Trail Me Up – StreetView for park trails
Way cool. How was this implemented? Someone hiking all these trails carrying photography gear?

Looking at the "street view", it seems they had some sort of robot on treads taking shots with a camera. Seems reminiscent of some of the mars rovers.

I see the shadow of a human wearing a backpack. Some of the photos have hair in them.

Haha, yes some sort of "robot" - it's a humanoid carbon unit with a backpack :)
