In the past, Google's Street View cameras have ventured off the streets to capture sites from the White House to Mexico's ancient ruins.
Now, the map program is letting users explore more than 75 miles of paths and trails surrounding the Grand Canyon, from ground level.
To capture the natural wonder, Google's team strapped on 40-pound, Android-operated backpacks carrying a 15-lens camera system. They traversed the rocky terrain on foot, collecting some 9,500 panoramas.
We tested out the program by taking a walking tour of one of the Canyon's most popular trails, the Bright Angel Trail, and saw some stunning views.
We're starting our hike on the Bright Angel Trail. The length of the trail is abut 9.5 miles to Bright Angel Campground.
Following the trail, we reach the first lookout point over the Grand Canyon.
The trail can be treacherous, so it's always recommended to travel with a group or a guide.
