Near the New Mexico-Colorado border, the Raton Pass area marks the beginning of mountain terrain. The Spanish Peaks become visible on the left (south) side as you approach Colorado. The Sangre de Cristo Range appears as you move into southern Colorado. The flight path takes you over the San Luis Valley (high desert plateau), where you can see the Rio Grande and the valley's distinctive flat terrain.
