Oh also you all know the whole southern half of canyonlands is super rendered right?

I find it peaceful and meditative to wander thru there. Amazing detail.

Looks like Garden of the Gods, Queens Canyon, and most of the Colorado Springs area in general has been rendered as well (but not Pikes Peak). Also looks like a lot of the Denver area is done... Including Red Rocks, the Hogback, Deer Creek, Roxborough, North/South Table Mountains, etc.

I did not, definitely will check that out. Hopefully more work on national parks to come in the future

call me crazy - but I feel this should be google's highest priority! Whatever progress they made a few years ago hasn't been updated since.


I think it is actually a very low priority. although most major urban areas got the treatment.
