Mount Baker
An incredible view of the massive, snow-covered stratovolcano located across the border in Washington.
Okanagan Lake
The long, iconic blue waters of the Okanagan Valley stretching through the BC interior.
Banff National Park
Famous peaks of the southern Rockies including views of the Kicking Horse Pass area.
Alberta Foothills
The dramatic transition where the jagged mountains give way to the rolling golden prairies of Alberta.
The right side is generally superior for landmark spotting. Secure a seat behind the wing to capture Mount Baker and the peaks of Banff without engine obstruction. Late afternoon flights offer golden hour lighting over the Rockies, though glare can be intense.

Aerial views of Galiano, Mayne, and Salt Spring Islands scattered across the Salish Sea.
Coast Mountains
Dense wilderness and glaciated peaks including the rugged terrain of Garibaldi Provincial Park.
Mount Robson
A chance to see the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies rising 3,954 meters.
Jasper National Park
Vast stretches of untouched subalpine forest and deep glacial valleys as you cross the continental divide.
Choose the left side for deep wilderness views. On clear days, the scale of the northern Rockies is immense. Look out early for the Vancouver skyline in the distance. Morning flights are best to have the sun behind you for photography.
