Take a hike with Street View through U.S. National Parks and Parks Canada
November 20, 2013
What do tents and hiking boots have in common? You don’t need either to start exploring or planning your next adventure to some of the best national parks and historical sites across North America.
Working with the
U.S. National Park Service
and
Parks Canada
, our Street View cars, trikes and
Trekker
mapped more than 44 locations with beautiful, 360 degree panoramas.
Leave your gear behind and still get a chance to marvel at the
Sequoias
in California. Or perhaps you’re looking for more adventure? Lookout to
Signal Mountain
in Wyoming’s Grand Tetons, climb around California’s
Joshua Tree
National Park, or dip your toe into
Moraine Lake
in Banff, Canada.
Moraine Lake’s beautiful color comes from the light reflecting off rock flour at the bottom of the lake. (

Getting tired? Take a break to watch the
Old Faithful
geyser in Yellowstone National Park, the first national park in the world.
Old Faithful’s eruptions last 1 1/2 to 5 minutes, expel up to 8,400 gallons of boiling water, and can be as high as 184 feet. (

Or, let your inner history buff come out to explore monuments and fortresses across North America.
Brush up presidential facts as you check out the
Lincoln Memorial
or get a closer look at US presidents at
Mount Rushmore
. Take a moment to “
Remember the Alamo
” as you visit this battlefield in Texas or step inside the
Halifax Citadel
to investigate the city’s role as a key naval station in the British Empire. For a selection of our favorites, check out the
Views collection
.
Fifty-six pillars and a pair of small triumphal arches surrounding a plaza and fountain make up the humbling World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Take a moment to remember those that served at the
Korean War Memorial
,
Vietnam Veterans Memorial
and
National World War II Memorial
in Washington, D.C.
Whether you’re planning your next adventure or just looking to be inspired by the beauty of the world from the comfort of your living room, we invite you to head over to Google Maps and let Pegman be your virtual guide to Street View. We hope you enjoy exploring the
majestic scenery
of North America’s national parks and monuments.
