==Official Spotting Locations==
 
===Outdoor Observation Decks===
 
There are outdoor observation decks with seating and fire pits in each concourse. They're open daily from 6am to 10pm, subject to weather. As these are located within the secure area of the terminal, they're only usable by ticketed passengers. There are clear glass walls between the edge of the deck and the aircraft.
 
Two of the decks are on the west end of the concourses, near gates A15 and B7. The third is on the east end, near gate C67. The airport has a [https://www.flydenver.com/at-the-airport/services-and-amenities/outdoor-decks-and-firepits/ web page about them].

====East Garage====
Keep right on Pena Blvd for terminal East. Follow signs for parking garage. Print your parking pass and continue to the first garage available. Turn right and head all the way up to level 5, and park in the northeast corner of the garage. This spot provides amazing shots of aircraft landing on 17R, as well as shots of aircraft taxiing in from landing on 35L, 35R, and 26.

===96th Avenue===
From 56th Avenue, continue eastbound until you reach Imboden Road and a small depot. Turn left on Imboden Road and head north for 5 miles. From there, turn left on 96th Avenue. 96th Avenue is a good dirt road. Continue through some trees for 2 miles to the intersection of 96th and Hudson Mile Road. From here you will have a great view of aircraft touching down on runway 26 or taking off of runway 8. Beware: Do not continue east on 96th or north on Hudson Mile as this is airport property and you are likely to get into trouble.
