Tourism has really embraced technology, and it’s been a big plus for the industry, especially in the U.S. Apps and tools like Google Maps have made it so much easier to explore new places, letting you see detailed panoramas of destinations, even capturing the finer details you might miss at first glance. This new development is sure to excite fans of western movies and geological tourism – you can now explore the Grand Canyon National Park and the Colorado River from the comfort of your sofa.
I read an article explaining that this was made possible by a dedicated team of Google Trekker explorers. These adventurers navigated various paths, fords, and cliffs, each carrying 18 pounds of gear. To enhance your virtual trip, some relaxing music might be a good idea. Don’t worry about getting bored; there are 120 miles of trails and 9,500 photos taken with 15 different lenses. It’s a tough job, but it makes me wonder if they are hiring more trekkers to capture these stunning natural sights. Maybe browsing Google’s blog will provide some answers.
If you’re wondering where to start your virtual adventure, consider the Bright Angel Trail, the South Kaibab Trail, or even the Meteor Crater.
