When landing at Gerald R Ford International (GRR), sit on the Right side for the best views. GRR's primary runways (16L/34R and 16R/34L) are oriented roughly north-south. During typical landing approaches from the south on runways 16L/16R, the right side offers views of the Grand River and downtown Grand Rapids. From the north on runways 34L/34R, you'd see the airport's eastern approach path over relatively flat terrain, but the right side still captures more of the surrounding landscape and water features. Notable sights include: Grand River (flowing northwest through the area), downtown Grand Rapids skyline (visible during southbound approaches), Millennium Park and the surrounding residential neighborhoods, flat West Michigan terrain with scattered tree coverage.
