Joshua Tree NP
Fly directly over the intersection of the Colorado and Mojave Deserts, spotting the unique rock formations and dense Joshua Tree forests.
Zion National Park
Look down into the deep, narrow canyons and massive sandstone cliffs of the Virgin River as you cross into Utah.
Bryce Canyon
A stunning view of the 'Silent City' and the natural amphitheaters filled with thousands of orange and red hoodoos.
Grand Staircase-Escalante
The vast, multi-colored cliffs and plateaus that represent millions of years of geological history rising from the desert floor.
Wasatch Mountains
A magnificent wall of peaks that lines the final approach into Salt Lake City, often snow-capped well into the early summer.
The right side is premier for morning flights when the sun illuminates the red sandstone of Southern Utah. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes after takeoff for the National Parks. During winter, the contrast between the white snow and the orange canyons of Zion is world-class. Sit near the front to avoid wing obstruction of the deep canyon views.

Immediately after takeoff, witness the sheer 10,000-foot vertical rise of this granite massif towering over the Coachella Valley.
Mojave Desert Vistas
Aerial views of the sprawling desert floor, featuring dry lake beds, volcanic cinder cones, and rugged mountain ranges.
Las Vegas & Lake Mead
Distant but clear views of the Las Vegas Strip and the shimmering blue waters of the Boulder Basin depending on the flight corridor.
Great Salt Lake
Expansive views of the shimmering, shallow salt lake and the stark white salt flats as you begin the final approach.
Antelope Island
The largest island in the Great Salt Lake, known for its unique topography and reflected colors during golden hour.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness dramatic sunsets over the Great Basin. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive white crust of the salt flats. This side is often better for capturing the scale of the Great Salt Lake's northern expanses before touchdown.
