Yosemite National Park Partners with Google Maps on “Google Street View”

Yosemite National Park and Google Maps have partnered on a groundbreaking project that uses cutting-edge technology to allow visitors to explore Yosemite National Park’s iconic features. This program allows people to explore Yosemite’s features, learn about the history and geology of the park, and experience first-hand what it is like to rock climb and explore the beauty of Yosemite National Park. The first installment, “El Capitan Street View,” was released in June of this year. Today, Google Maps is launching Street View imagery of the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, Mirror Lake, Bridalveil Fall, and many other popular destinations. http://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/news/yosemite-national-park-partners-with-google-maps-on-google-street-view.htm
