In need of a respite with nature? The latest terrain to be mapped and captured by Google Street View will allow city folk stuck in urban jungles to drop in on the ancient forests and mountain trails of Northern British Columbia, Canada.

Between June and September, team members from tourism offices at Destination BC and Northern BC Tourism will be loaned two Google Street View Trekkers and set out to capture the west coast wilderness.

Teams, trained by Google on how to operate the 40-lb Trekkers, will set off to cover 1,500 km worth of terrain capturing the rugged coast, Mount Edziza, Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Parks, and Haida Gwaii, which was named one of National Geographic's Best Trips 2015.

The project marks the biggest mapping project and partnership between a provincial tourism marketing operation and Google in Canada.

The Trekkers will also take viewers through the Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark, a prehistoric land once ruled by dinosaurs, and British Columbia's newest provincial park Ancient Forest or Chun T'oh Wudujut Park, home to giant cedar trees. The woodlands are part of the only known inland temperate rainforest in the world.

Images will then be sent to the Google Maps team in California where they will be processed and uploaded to Google Maps, which takes several months.

The untamed wilderness of British Columbia is the latest Street Trekker destination to allow for unfiltered armchair traveling thanks to the camera-mounted backpack, which is outfitted with 15 separate cameras that can capture 360-degree panoramic imagery.

Other destinations mapped by the Trekker include the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Canyon and the Galapagos Islands and the Great Barrier Reef.
