SLC → BZN
Which side of the plane to sit from Salt Lake City International Airport (Salt Lake City) to Gallatin Field (Bozeman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of the Rocky Mountains, including the stunning Grand Teton range and the vast expanse of Yellowstone National Park.
Wasatch Front
Dramatic views of the steep mountains rising directly from the Salt Lake Valley floor.
Grand Teton
The iconic, jagged peaks of the Teton Range are clearly visible midway through the flight.
Yellowstone National Park
Bird's-eye view of the park's dense forests, lakes, and occasionally steam from thermal basins.
Big Sky & Lone Mountain
Spot the distinctive pyramid-shaped peak of Big Sky Resort just south of Bozeman.
Gallatin Range
Deep canyons and high ridges that define the wild landscape south of Gallatin Field.
The right side is the 'Teton side' and is highly recommended. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing. During winter months, the snow-covered peaks of the Gallatin Range provide incredible contrast against the valley floor during the approach into BZN.
Great Salt Lake
Immediate views of the saline lake and Antelope Island after taking off from SLC.
Snake River Plain
The geometric green and brown patterns of southern Idaho's high-altitude agriculture.
Madison Range
Rugged, snow-capped peaks including Hilgard Peak visible as you enter Montana airspace.
Tobacco Root Mountains
A compact and spectacular range often visible during the final descent into the Gallatin Valley.
Sit on the left if you want the best views of the Great Salt Lake's unique color gradients immediately after departure. Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the wings and windows.
