Don't fancy trekking into the Grand Canyon? New Google images now allow you to take a virtual tour.



It seems no place on earth is now too remote to hide away from Google’s camerawork.




The depths of the Grand Canyon are the latest isolated location to be captured and released to the public by the internet giant's increasingly intrepid team.



The huge natural chasm that gapes across the sandstone landscape of Arizona is one of the world’s most recognisable formations, and a US national park.



Now, you can witness and travel its depths without having to leave the comfort of your swivel chair, thanks to a new project called Google Trekker that has mapped more than 75 miles of its trails.



See the new Google Trekker of the Grand Canyon in action.



I've never been to the Grand Canyon but after seeing the Google Trekker, I want to go!
 
Cool, hiking for lazy people!

Looks like you'll need a good pair of shoes.
