🌳

Texas Hill Country

Rolling green hills and limestone ridges visible immediately after departing San Antonio.

☄️

Meteor Crater

A near-perfect circular impact site located near Winslow, Arizona, easily spotted from cruising altitude.

⛰️

Grand Canyon

The awe-inspiring northern vistas of the world's most famous canyon system as the flight heads west.

🏙️

The Las Vegas Strip

Unmatched views of the mega-resorts, the Sphere, and the fountains on the final approach into Harry Reid International.

🏜️

Painted Desert

Vibrant, multicolored badlands stretching across the horizon in Northern Arizona.

🌵

Chihuahuan Desert

Expanse of rugged desert terrain stretching across West Texas and Southern New Mexico.

🐍

Pecos River

The winding, deep-carved canyon of the Pecos River visible as you cross into the high desert.

Lake Mead

The massive reservoir on the Colorado River, providing a vibrant blue contrast to the red desert rocks.
