Mount Adams
The second-highest peak in Washington, standing prominently to the east of the flight path.
Snake River Canyon
The deep, winding canyon cutting through the rugged basalt terrain of Southern Idaho.
Downtown Salt Lake City
Bird's eye view of the Temple Square and the city grid against the mountain backdrop on final approach.
Wasatch Range
Towering, jagged mountain peaks that line the eastern edge of the Salt Lake Valley.
