Arkansas River
Follow the route of one of the major tributaries of the Mississippi as it snakes across the plains.
Longs Peak
The prominent 14,259-foot peak visible to the northwest as the plane enters the Denver metro area.
Denver International Airport
Look for the iconic white tented peaks of the Jeppesen Terminal as you circle for landing.
