The flightline image to the left roughly follows the Continential Divide, begining over the Cochetopa Hills. Traveling almost due west, the snowcovered Cannibal and Calf Creek Plateaus, with their small lakes, are evident. Further west is the San Juan Mountains with distinctive north/south ridges. Flight track ends over San Miguel Canyon and the Uncompahgre Palteau.
