Search flights from YEG to DEN
Waterton-Glacier
Spectacular jagged peaks and turquoise alpine lakes straddling the US-Canada border.
Bob Marshall Wilderness
One of the largest roadless areas in the lower 48, featuring pristine alpine forests.
Yellowstone Plateau
A vast volcanic landscape visible in the distance with deep canyons and high-altitude lakes.
Wind River Range
Sharp granite summits and some of the largest glaciers in the American Rockies.
Rocky Mountain National Park
The final descent features Longs Peak and the dramatic Front Range rising abruptly from the plains.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Afternoon flights provide the most dramatic lighting on the western faces of the peaks, but bring sunglasses for the glare. Keep a close watch shortly after the border crossing for the most concentrated mountain views.

Alberta Prairies
Infinite geometric patterns of agricultural grids stretching across the Canadian plains.
Missouri River Basin
The winding blue ribbon of the Missouri River and the massive Fort Peck Lake reservoir in Montana.
Wyoming High Plains
The rugged, arid landscape of the Great Divide Basin and vast sagebrush steppes.
Cheyenne Skyline
The isolated urban grid of Wyoming's capital standing out against the surrounding wilderness.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight while witnessing the soft alpenglow on the distant mountain peaks. It provides an excellent perspective on the massive scale of the Great Plains and the intricate 'checkerboard' farming patterns of the north.
