====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.
