Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular, close-up view of Mount Rainier and the southern volcanic peaks, followed by the rugged beauty of the Bitterroot Wilderness.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🌋

Mount Rainier

An incredibly close-up view of Washington's highest peak, showing its massive glaciers and craggy ridges.

🏔️

Cascade Volcanoes

On clear days, see the triple threat of Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Hood to the south.

🌾

The Palouse

The unique, rolling green or golden loess hills of Eastern Washington's famous agricultural region.

🌲

Bitterroot Wilderness

Fly over millions of acres of rugged, high-altitude forest and steep granite canyons in Western Montana.

🏔️

Spanish Peaks

Jagged, alpine peaks that define the skyline as you descend into the Gallatin Valley toward Bozeman.

This is the essential side for Mount Rainier; have your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun illuminates the southern faces of the mountains. Look for the distinct crater of Mount St. Helens in the distance shortly after passing Rainier.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Seattle Skyline

Panoramic views of downtown Seattle, the Space Needle, and Lake Washington immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Glacier Peak

A prominent view of this remote North Cascades volcano standing tall amongst the jagged wilderness.

🌊

Columbia River

Watch the massive river carve through the arid landscape of the Columbia Basin in Central Washington.

🛶

Lake Coeur d'Alene

The sparkling blue waters of this iconic Idaho lake surrounded by dense evergreen forests.

🏔️

Cabinet Mountains

Dramatic glaciated peaks visible as the flight crosses from the Idaho Panhandle into Montana.

Sit in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion when photographing the North Cascades. During winter months, this side offers great views of the snow-covered Cabinet Mountains. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting for the Seattle skyline during the initial ascent.
