Today Google Maps is launching the Colorado River Street View. Grand Canyon is featured with its 286 miles of the river. There are some stunning views here. Let’s paddle down the Colorado river with Google Street View.
You can view a nice hyperlapse of this journey made by Google right here:
For over 6 million years, the Colorado River has carved out its place on Earth. It spans over 1,450 miles, beginning in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and ending the Gulf of California in Mexico. The Colorado River serves as a lifeline in the arid Western United States. It graces 7 states, 2 countries, and 9 national parks, nourishing the lives of 36 million people and endangered wildlife. Millions depend on the river for irrigation, water supply, and hydroelectric power. However, excessive water consumption and outdated management have endangered the Colorado River.
