Wasatch Mountains
Breathtaking views of the rugged peaks directly east of Salt Lake City, including Mount Olympus and Lone Peak.
Colorado Springs & Pikes Peak
Look for the iconic 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak standing prominently as you cross the Front Range.
Garden of the Gods
Distinctive bright red sandstone rock formations visible near the base of the mountains in Colorado.
High Plains Wind Farms
Vast arrays of wind turbines creating geometric patterns across the western Kansas landscape.
Arkansas River Valley
The winding path of the Arkansas River as it carves through the transition into the greener Oklahoma terrain.
For the most dramatic mountain photography, choose a seat forward of the wing on the left side. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Rockies. During the winter, the snow-capped peaks of the Front Range are particularly stunning from this vantage point.
