The towering walls and remarkable waters of the Colorado River can now be explored by Google Street View, thanks to a partnership between Google Maps and American Rivers.
American Rivers announced the launch of the Colorado Street View today, after three members of their team joined Google Maps on an eight-day trip in August through the Grand Canyon with Street View cameras on special raft mounts. They also carried the cameras on some of the Grand Canyon’s popular side hikes.
The Colorado River was named America’s Most Endangered River in 2013 by American Rivers. In their announcement today they wrote, “the project brings renewed attention to the wonder and beauty of the Grand Canyon, as well as the challenges facing the Colorado River’s health. “
