The Denver airport is a major hub and it’s a relatively short flight from there to Salt Lake City, the second step of my road trip.

I actually got a better view of downtown Denver flying out of the airport there and heading northwest than I did on the flight into Denver coming from the south.

If you live in certain parts of the south and especially if you live near the coast, you might not get to see a lot of snow or mountains. Flying over the Rocky Mountains gives you a close-up view of both.
