Can't make it to the Grand Canyon? No worries. Google Street View will bring the Grand Canyon to you. In their continued effort to make the world seem like a smaller, more accessible place, Google is bringing the majesty of the Grand Canyon into the comfort of your own home with the help of Trekker, an Android-operated 15-lens camera mounted on a 40-pound backpack.
On their official blog, Google announced that users can now utilize Google Maps to explore over 75 miles of trails and exposed paths in the Grand Canyon, including the Bright Angel Trail and the South Kaibab Trail. With a few clicks of a mouse, armchair explorers can now appreciate the scenic views surrounding the Colorado River and virtually hike the rim of Meteor Crater without ever having to navigate the rocky terrain or unpredictable temperature fluctuations of one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders.
