I've not seen this flagged on here yet - I was browsing google maps and discovered that someone has hiked cottonwood pass-> whitney with a 360 camera. It's not a full google trekker, looks more like a consumer 360 camera, but nonetheless it gives a really good impression of the trail with 360 photos every few hundred yards.

Don't know if the link below will work, if not just head for anywhere on the route and drag the little streetview man symbol onto the map.

That's pretty cool!

It appears the camera setup wasn't always in exactly vertical/horizontal orientation, since scanning left and right sometimes shows the ground and sometimes the sky. ...on some of the pictures.

Definitely cool that a regular hiker can carry such a setup. I noticed the solar charger on the top of the pack in some of the pictures.
