Denver to Everett is 1,035 miles (1,665 km), a flight of about 2 hours 25 minutes.
Left side wins at both ends of the flight. During the cruise over Idaho and eastern Washington, the left side also tracks closer to the Cascade Range foothills and offers glimpses of volcanic peaks like Mount Adams on approach into the Pacific Northwest.
Flight Path
After crossing the Rockies, the flight tracks northwest over Wyoming's high desert basin, then crosses into southern Idaho over the Snake River Plain. The broad flat lava fields and agricultural pivot-irrigation circles of the Snake River Plain are visible mid-flight. Approaching Washington, the Columbia Plateau's dry channeled scablands give way to the Cascade foothills. On clear days, Mount Rainier and Mount Adams are visible to the left as you descend into the Puget Sound lowlands.
