Experience some of the country's best national parks — from Florida to Alaska — right from your couch.
You can still get your fill of the great outdoors, even if you have to stay inside.
With the ongoing coronavirus outbreak heavily affecting the U.S. as well as nations abroad,
people everywhere are attempting to help slow the spread of the virus by self-isolating and practicing social distancing, as the CDC recommends.
Because of this, schools, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, and other places for people to congregate are temporarily closing their doors.
In response, many schools have moved to online instruction, and even tourist attractions,
like these 12 famous museums, are offering virtual tours so people can get a little break from cleaning and Netflix.
Even New York's Metropolitan Opera is offering free virtual experiences to keep people entertained.
But what about those of us who love to explore the outdoors?
Luckily, Google Arts & Culture has teamed up with five national parks in the U.S. so people can enjoy the beauty of the natural world while sitting safely on their couch.
These parks feature different climates and environments from across the country, including famous desert vistas and snowy terrains.
Below is a list of the national parks that are currently offering virtual tours through Google Arts & Culture. Hopefully, there will be even more in the future.
