Utah Lake
A large freshwater lake situated just south of the Salt Lake Valley, visible during the initial climb.

Lake Mead
The deep blue waters of the Colorado River reservoir contrasting against the red desert rock.
San Gabriel Mountains

Great Salt Lake
The vast, shimmering expanse of the saline lake and Antelope Island shortly after takeoff.
Kennecott Copper Mine
One of the largest man-made excavations on Earth, visible as a massive tiered pit in the Oquirrh Mountains.
Mojave National Preserve
Expansive desert landscapes featuring volcanic cinder cones and the Kelso Dunes.
San Fernando Valley

The right side is best for viewing the Great Salt Lake during departure. On afternoon flights, this side receives direct sunlight, which can make the cabin hot but provides beautiful golden hour lighting over the Mojave Desert. Look for the massive scale of the copper mine about 5-10 minutes into the flight.
