Canadian Rockies
Distant views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Alberta Rockies to the west during the first half of the trip.
Fort Peck Lake
The massive reservoir on the Missouri River in Montana provides a striking blue contrast to the surrounding badlands.
Yellowstone Plateau
On clear days, the high-altitude wilderness of the Yellowstone region can be spotted on the western horizon.
Longs Peak
The 14,259-foot crown of Rocky Mountain National Park serves as a landmark during the approach into Denver.
Denver Skyline
A stunning view of the Mile High City skyscrapers set against the backdrop of the Front Range mountains.
The right side is the premier choice for mountain lovers. For the best experience, book a seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Front Range during the descent. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting on the mountain faces, highlighting the dramatic topography of the Colorado Rockies.

Athabasca Oil Sands
Massive industrial excavations and tailing ponds are visible shortly after departure from Fort McMurray.
The Great Plains
Endless geometric patterns of Canadian and American agriculture spanning across Saskatchewan and Montana.
Cheyenne Urban Center
The capital of Wyoming is often visible as the flight begins its final descent into the Denver metro area.
Ideal for early morning flights to witness the sunrise over the vast eastern horizon. The left side is also better for observing the sheer scale of the oil sand operations immediately south of Fort McMurray during initial climb.
