Taking a virtual hike with Google on the Bright Angel Trail: New service expands Street View concept to Grand Canyon NP
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, ARIZ. — Google and its street-view cameras already have taken users to narrow cobblestone alleys in Spain using a tricycle, inside the Smithsonian with a push cart and to British Columbia's snow-covered slopes by snowmobile.
The search giant now has brought its all-seeing eyes - mounted for the first time on a backpack - down into the Grand Canyon, showcasing the attraction's most popular hiking trails on the South Rim and other walkways.
