Grand Canyon is likely the most famous of all the national parks in the United States and a marvelous natural wonder of the world. Given this, it makes sense that you can find a number of virtual tour options.
For an immersive virtual hike, take the Google Street View Trek. It takes you along the Bright Angel Trail, following the Colorado River to the South Rim.
Other Grand Canyon National Park virtual tour options include the Google Earth view and AirPano’s stunning aerial views. |

Great Places To Explore |

Havasu Canyon is famous for its stunning sculptured red rock and … you guessed it, waterfalls. It’s located in western Grand Canyon.
Flowing through Havasu Canyon is a brilliant turquoise stream with many waterfalls and cascades to explore. The most popular are the Upper and Lower Navajo Falls, Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls and Beaver Falls. The most dramatic (to get to, at least) is Mooney Falls, with a crazy descent through caves and chain ladders.
There are quite a few traveller 360 videos of Havasu Canyon. I like this virtual tour of Mooney Falls from Base Camp Vegas; you see this gorgeous area from the canyon floor, the crazy climb out, and then from above.
Two other 360 videos to check out are from B Davey: descent to Mooney Falls and view over the edge. A |
