Spending time outdoors can reduce stress and increase overall health. Stuck inside? You can still connect with nature with a virtual visit to a national park. Four of the most visited national parks in the nation offer creative ways for visitors at home to explore its beauty.
Grand Canyon National Park
On a Grand Canyon virtual archaeological tour, armchair travellers get an inside look at the first major archaeological site along the Colorado River in nearly four decades. A series of interactive 360degree photos show the archaeologists (考古学家) at work, with insight into their tools and methods.
Yosemite National Park
Few national parks have more natural wonders than Yosemite. Visitors can see water pouring down from Yosemite Falls or look up at Half Dome from the floor of Yosemite Valley.
Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park protects a rainforest ecosystem (生态系统) largely untouched by human habitation. It also protects an incredible range of habitats and impressive biodiversity (生物多样性).
A set of beautiful interactive wall paintings appeals to those with an interest in plants and animals. Click through the images to learn more about what's growing in the park.
Yellowstone National Park
America's oldest national park is also one of the easiest to tour virtually. You can watch Old Faithful erupt in real time or send an audio postcard featuring the sounds of springtime, the barks and howls of wolves at Blacktail Pond.
