After crossing the Cascades, the route tracks over the Columbia Plateau and high desert of southern Idaho, then over the Snake River Plain. The flight crosses the Rocky Mountain foothills of Wyoming and Colorado before descending over the flat shortgrass prairies of Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma. The Arkansas River drainage basin becomes visible in the final 100 miles of descent. No major mountain ranges are crossed after the Cascades, but the transition from high desert to Great Plains is visually distinct around the Wyoming-Colorado border.
