Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a dramatic, front-row seat to the Wasatch Range, the strikingly blue Bear Lake, and a potential distant view of the Grand Tetons before descending over the Sapphire Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Wasatch Range

Immediate, breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and deep alpine valleys stretching north from Salt Lake City.

💎

Bear Lake

Commonly called the 'Caribbean of the Rockies,' its intense turquoise water is a standout landmark on the Utah-Idaho border.

⛰️

Grand Teton Peaks

On clear days, the iconic jagged spires of the Teton Range are visible on the distant eastern horizon during the middle of the flight.

🏞️

Sapphire Mountains

A beautiful view of the rolling, evergreen-covered Sapphire Range during the final descent into the Missoula Valley.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun at your back, illuminating the Wasatch and Teton peaks. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of Bear Lake and the mountain ranges is not obstructed by the engine.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Great Salt Lake

Witness the vast, shimmering surface of the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Antelope Island

Look for the rugged terrain and distinct shorelines of the lake's largest island, home to free-roaming bison.

🌋

Snake River Plain

Fly over the unique volcanic landscape of southern Idaho, characterized by dark basalt flows and circular farm patterns.

🌲

Bitterroot Mountains

Enjoy a close-up view of the dense forests and steep canyons of the Bitterroot range as you approach Missoula.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to see the light reflecting off the Great Salt Lake. This side is also excellent for observing the geologically fascinating basalt formations of the Snake River Plain in mid-flight.
