At 12,087 ft, the high point of the Deep Creek Range near the Nevada line, rising nearly 8,000 ft above the Great Salt Lake Desert. Look for a lone snowy range standing out of white salt flats.
3 of our routes pass it. Utah
The easy pick
Las Vegas to Boise: sit on the right, 34 min after takeoff.
Which side, by route
| Route | Side | When |
|---|---|---|
| Chicago to Sacramento | Right | 168 min after takeoff |
| Las Vegas to Boise | Right | 34 min after takeoff |
| Sacramento to Denver | Right (the left side is better for the whole flight) | 50 min after takeoff |
From the real paths of every nonstop on these routes in the last 10 days, at the usual time of day. Where the best seat for the whole flight is on the other side, you'd trade this sight for more elsewhere.
