Canadian Rockies
Breath-taking views of the snow-capped peaks of Southern Alberta shortly after departure.
Glacier National Park
The jagged peaks and glacial valleys of the 'Crown of the Continent' near the Canada-US border.
Great Salt Lake
The massive expanse of the lake, featuring striking color contrasts between the northern and southern arms.
Zion & Bryce Canyon
Aerial perspectives of the iconic red rock spires and deep sandstone canyons of Southern Utah.
Valley of Fire
Brilliant red sandstone formations in the Mojave Desert that glow during the golden hour.
The right side is superior for this route as it tracks the most dramatic mountain ranges. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the peaks and canyons. Look for the Great Salt Lake roughly two hours into the flight; it is a massive landmark that is impossible to miss on this side.

Missouri River Breaks
Watch the winding Missouri River cut through the rugged Montana plains early in the flight.
Bighorn Mountains
Distinctive ridges and high-altitude plateaus visible as you cross into Wyoming.
Flaming Gorge
A stunning reservoir with deep green waters framed by vibrant red canyon walls on the Utah-Wyoming border.
Lake Mead
The massive desert reservoir formed by the Hoover Dam, visible during the final descent into Las Vegas.
Las Vegas Strip
If the flight approaches from the east, the sprawling city and its iconic hotels appear just before landing.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side offers better views of the high plains and the massive Lake Mead reservoir during the descent. Keep an eye out for the Colorado Plateau's unique geological steps as you head south.
