Canadian national parks and historic sites can be explored online, thanks to a partnership between Parks Canada and Google.
This project began in 2013, where staff from Parks Canada and Google travelled across Canada to photograph the country's landscape. It started out with over 50 sites, and have grown since then.
To explore, enter the name of the Parks Canada site into Google Maps or Google Earth, and then view the panoramic images through Street View, or browse the Parks Canada website for a list of what's currently available, and access the sites from here.
This virtual experience can help you plan your next outdoor adventure. But it can also bring the experience to those who may not be able to physically visit the sites due to their remoteness or challenging terrain.
Approximately 75 percent of Parks Canada's sites have already been mapped onto Google Street View, and more is being planned.
