Take a Trip to the Grand Canyon!
Let's take a Thursday trip to the Grand Canyon! A trip to the Grand Canyon can be exciting for everyone, as there is so much to do, so much to see and a ton of ground to cover! Even better, a virtual trip to the Grand Canyon can be a little easier on us in respect to the travel times, the activity required and grants many of us the ability to reach areas we wouldn't typically reach!

Follow along with us as we take a trip to the breathtaking, natural wonder that we call the Grand Canyon.
Immersive Virtual Field Trips
With so much to see and many tough places to reach, the Grand Canyon can hide so much from us! Thankfully Arizona State University and Smart Sparrow teamed up to give us glimpses of the gorge that we may not see otherwise.
