The Planet Earth Online We Live on a big, beautiful planet stocked with a great variety of scenery and landscape. It is a planet made for humans to live on, but most of it is covered by fields and mountains and deserts and oceans. It is a real planet full of living plants and animals, and a few billion people, each of which are unique and interesting. People have shaped the world in many ways, building houses and cities and farms. Roads, a man-made feature, criss-cross the whole earth, tying together its endless variety into one common network. Since 1999, UntraveledRoad has been capturing the scenery of modern highways, mountain roads, city streets and trails, visiting places both exotic and familiar to create a photographic virtual world, where you can stop to look at wildflowers, lakes, mountain vistas, and read historic markers, all from the comfort of your computer chair. With 396,883 hand-held camera photographs, UntraveledRoad preserves a repository of beautiful scenery which you can explore at your leisure. If you want to see the beauty of National Parks, the serenity of an alpine wilderness, the solitude of the desert, or wander randomly along highways, it is waiting for you now at a mouseclick. These virtual tours consist of stops along roads, streets and trails, where four pictures are taken, one in each direction. Each page shows an ahead-facing picture along with two side view thumbnails. You can turn in any direction, and proceed to the next stop. Where appropriate, extra pictures show high-resolution views of scenery, or historic and interpretative markers. Some complicated intersections include pictures for diagonal directions. To skip uneventful sections of roadway, a jump feature takes you to the next important town or intersection. See the legend at the bottom of this page for more information. This page highlights only a few samples of the many explorations you can make on UntraveledRoad. Lassen Peak Lassen Volcanic Park In 1914 and 1915, Lassen Peak dazzled America with the only volcanic eruptions since the arrival of Europeans on the continent. The eruptions reached a climax on May 22, 1915 with an eruption that sent volcanic ash 30,000 feet in the air and left a trail for 200 miles to the east. The blast could be seen for hundreds of miles away. The slopes of the mountain were devastated as the eruption mixed with melted snow and swept down the mountain slopes. The next year, congress responded by establishing Lassen Volcanic Park on August 9, 1916. Scientists and other curious onlookers studied the effects of the eruption. Falling into dormancy after its impressive show, Lassen has long since been covered in forests and grass, although hot springs and steaming vents still exist. With Lassen Peak reaching 10,457 feet in elevation, heavy winter snows melt into green alpine meadows in summer, and vacationeers come to beat the summer heat, hike on the many trails, and read interpretative markers about the great eruption. Jenny Lake The Grand Tetons The iconic granite peaks of the Grand Tetons are as famous as they are beautiful. Rising 7,000 feet above the valley. Forests cling to their lower slopes above which protrudes the jagged, angular bare stone of the peaks. Numerous lakes dot the edge of the valley including the pretty Jenny Lake, and Jackson Lake, a large reservoir on the Snake River. The valley below is called Jackson Hole. The Snake River flows through the middle, and patches of forest cover parts of it, interspersed with flats of sagebrush. At the south end of Jackson Hole is the town of Jackson, Wyoming, a resort and tourist attraction. Artists Drive Death Valley National Park In spite of being the hottest and driest place in America, nearly a million people visit Death Valley yearly. The climate is so severe that almost no plant life can survive, But the alien landscape and quiet and solitude provide an appeal that many more beautiful places do not.

Death Valley features a number of interesting places to visit including the colorful Artists Drive and Mustard Canyon , historic places like the Harmony Borax Works and the overlook at Dante’s View . Escape the stress of modern life with a visit to this faraway place. Legend A tree icon indicates high resolution scenic views.
