Last fall Google announced that it had a team setting out to capture “street view” imagery of trails through the Grand Canyon. Today, the first batch of that imagery was released. You can now explore more than 75 miles of trails in the Grand Canyon in Street View (I think they should call it Trail View). Get a taste of the imagery in the video below then start exploring the new Grand Canyon imagery.

Applications for Education
One
of my former colleagues used to teach an entire
unit on geology by walking students through the Grand Canyon with
pictures she had taken. The new Grand Canyon Street View imagery will enable more teachers to use the same model for teaching geology.
