Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Majors (GVT) to Denver International (DEN)?

The Purgatoire River drainage and the Comanche National Grassland are visible in southeastern Colorado before the terrain gradually rises toward the Palmer Divide and the Front Range becomes visible on the western horizon roughly 100 miles out from Denver.
