From sea to shining sea: A Street View tour of the U.S.

March 23, 2015

Street View in Google Maps can take you on virtual journeys to far-off lands and exotic places. But sometimes adventure is waiting for you right in your own backyard. For Americans looking to learn more about their country, you can now explore some new scenic and interesting places here in the U.S., thanks to new imagery collected through the Trekker Loan Program.

Today some of Michigan’s most beautiful places have come to Google Maps, collected in partnership with Pure Michigan. Visit the historic, family-owned Grand Hotel, or enjoy the view over Lake Michigan at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore—the Great Lake State has something to offer for everyone.

For some California dreamin’, zip on over to Monterey, where our partners at the Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau helped collect some of the state’s most sought-after scenes. Taking a walk under the blue sky at Carmel Beach or dipping your toes in the local river at the Big Sur River Inn will give you a taste of the beauty of the west coast.

Thanks to our partners at The Conservation Fund, American history buffs can pay homage to Civil War soldiers at the Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland, float down Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, or explore the First State’s First National Monument in Delaware, where the constitution was first ratified.
