San Jacinto Mountains
Immediate views of the 10,834-foot peak towering over Palm Springs shortly after takeoff.
Great Salt Lake
The shimmering turquoise and silver expanses of the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere.
Flathead Lake
A massive, deep blue freshwater lake in Montana surrounded by dense evergreen forests.
The Canadian Rockies
As you cross the border, look west for the jagged, snow-capped peaks of Banff and Jasper National Parks.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur when photographing the Rockies. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountains from the east, highlighting the textures of the canyons and glacial valleys. During winter, look for the stark contrast between frozen lakes and dark pine forests.

Joshua Tree & Mojave
Unique desert landscapes and the distinct geological formations of the high desert plateau.
Las Vegas & Lake Mead
If the flight path trends slightly east, you may catch the glimmering Strip and the deep blue of Lake Mead.
Salt Lake City
A birds-eye view of the grid-patterned city nestled directly against the steep Wasatch Range.
Alberta Prairies
The transition from the rugged mountains to the golden, patterned agricultural lands of Southern Alberta.
The right side is excellent for seeing the desert lights on evening flights, particularly the sprawl of Las Vegas or Salt Lake City. On daytime flights, keep your camera ready for the stark geometric beauty of the Canadian prairie grid system as you approach Edmonton. This side typically gets more direct sunlight on northbound flights, so keep your window shade down when not viewing to stay cool.
