Great Salt Lake
Witness the distinct color variations and mineral crusts of the massive terminal lake shortly after takeoff.
Wind River Range
Stunning views of Wyoming's highest peaks, including Gannett Peak, featuring sharp granite spires and glacial lakes.
Bighorn Mountains
A massive uplift in north-central Wyoming offering dramatic cliffs and snow-capped peaks like Cloud Peak.
Red River Valley
The approach into Fargo reveals the incredible geometric precision of one of the world's most fertile farming regions.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the western faces of the Rockies. During winter, the contrast between the white peaks and the high desert basins is exceptionally sharp. Watch for the sharp transition from the mountains to the plains near the Wyoming-Dakota border.

Uinta Mountains
View the unique east-west trending range, known for its high-altitude wilderness and King's Peak.
Flaming Gorge
The deep red canyons and bright blue waters of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir are visible in southern Wyoming.
Black Hills
The dark, forested silhouette of the Black Hills in South Dakota provides a stark contrast to the surrounding prairie.
Missouri River
Watch for the wide, meandering curves of the Missouri River as you cross from South Dakota into North Dakota.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a lookout for the Uinta Mountains early in the flight, as they represent some of the highest terrain in the lower 48 states. During the descent, the grid-like patterns of the North Dakota prairie are most prominent here.
