Hi there and I’m back with another experiment with VR tours of our best Yellowstone hikes. I highly recommend viewing the tour in Fullscreen mode. You will have access to a popup map that will allow you to hop around in the tour and give you a sense of the area. The benefit of this type of tour, is you can use your mouse or finger to drag the photos around to change your view. My intent for these type of tours are to give you a better idea of what you may be getting into so you can make […]
I’m trying something new here. I’ve done 360 video walks before but this is more of a VR Tour. It’s new software to me so I appreciate your feedback on how I can improve the experience. My intent is to give you a self-guided, self-paced 360 view of the trail so you know what you are getting into before you go. We think the Beaver Ponds Loop trail is one of the best hikes in Yellowstone for families. This post is also over on YellowstoneTrips.com run by the wonderful @TravelingMel. How to Use this Tour: It’s pretty simple. Click on […]
City Walking VR Experience in Pompeii VR Walking Tour of Pompeii near Vesuvius and Napoli Hello Walkers, Welcome to another incredible journey—today we’re stepping back in time to explore the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, located at the foot of the legendary Mount Vesuvius. Once a thriving metropolis of the Roman Empire, Pompeii was tragically buried under volcanic ash in 79 AD, preserving a stunning snapshot of daily life nearly two thousand years ago. Interesting way to view Pompeii from afarNow recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the archaeological park of Pompeii is vast—so large, in fact, that it […]
After a winding bus ride and a mid morning patisserie to power us up, we found the trail starting in Bomerano. The local alpinist club has marked the path very clearly and we found it easily. The route boasts some of the most amazing views of the Amalfi coast you can find. It eventually leads down to Positano where we found a restaurant and waited several cycles for a bus that wasn’t completely full. I’d choose the path over Positano, actually. I only filmed a five minute segment of the path but the views from here were epic. Checkout another […]
I’ve been slacking on creating 360 content the last year but I tried to make up for it in Italy. This walk leads from the top of the “Molar” on the Sorrentine peninsula between Amalfi/Positano and Sorrento. The limestone mountains aren’t particularly tall but they are steep and they offer amazing views. We walked this trail (and Gondola) in November, hence the fall colors. I hope you enjoy it as well. From the Gondola, you can see Mt. Vesuvius over by Naples. Check out VR Scenery from the Path of the Gods Support us for just $5 on Patreon Or […]
I love a parade, at least when I’m in a mule drawn wagon in Livingston, Montana! Select to watch in 4k if you can and just click and drag the image in any direction you want. Or, on a mobile device, just tilt it or spin around. Or, use goggles. Hope you enjoy. These take a lot of bandwidth but they are fun to watch. 2022 VR Roundup Parade Mules and Wagon Every year on July 2nd, the Livingston Roundup Parade kicks of a long holiday rodeo weekend. For the last 10 years or so, my dad, “Big” Henry harnesses […]
I love e-bikes, especially on a beautiful spring day. They make riding easy and fun. I’ve since gotten one of my own and I love it! VR Travel Experience E-bike Experience Along the Columbia River in Washington on Spring Day -360 VR 5K Hello Walkers, On a recent trip to the Tri-Cities in Washington, we were there for a conference—but one of the highlights turned out to be an organized e-bike ride that gave us a chance to really explore the area. The weather couldn’t have been better—the sun was shining, wildflowers were in full bloom, and the air had […]
Take a VR Tour of the Yakima river on a cool spring day as we kayak down stream. Virtual Kayaking on the Yakima Yakima River Kayaking in 5k VR – Relaxing Spring Float Hey everyone, it’s Henry here. We were out in the Tri-Cities area of Washington for a conference recently, and I managed to carve out a quiet morning to do something a little different—float down the Yakima River. We started upriver and made our way down to where it meets the mighty Columbia. It’s a peaceful stretch, winding through farmland and sage-covered hills, and even though the sun […]
VR Walking tour through the magical sandstone formations of Canyonlands National Park in the Needles District. VR Canyonlands National Park – VR Nature Walk and Hike through the red rocks of the Needles On the way home from California and Arizona, we took an extra day to do a hike in the Needles section of Canyonlands National Park which is southwest of Moab. We had a beautiful sunny day that wasn’t too hot to find our way around and through the mind bending red rock formations in this area. It was a day well worth it. -H Some more VR […]
Sea Lions have taken over the pier! Immerse yourself in their lazy group nap! The VR Experience: VR 360 View – California Sea Lions on pier in Marina Del Rey We always try to hit Trader Joes when we get near one and Marina Del Rey has one. They also have a really nice park with some docks where Sea Lions congregate, rest, bark, swim, and raise a joyful ruckus. We were able to get really close on the docks. They are here pretty much every day and can be a nuisance. That said, they didn’t invite a Marina into […]
Take a virtual reality horseback ride in the Arizona desert. Several clips with different views VR Horseback Riding at Elkhorn Ranch in Arizona – 5K VR Dude Ranch Trail Ride Experience Ok. This one is a bit closer to walking but still a ways away. A much longer video this time too. We were lucky enough to spend a week at Elkhorn Ranch outside of Tucson AZ in January (https://elkhornranch.com/). Mostly I just enjoyed time with the family but I did manage to break out the Insta360 One X2 one afternoon. We get some niche mountain views in this one […]
Not a walk but an awesome dog sled adventure. VR Dog Sledding Adventure in Big Fork Montana – Fast and Furriest – Winter VR Experience Hi there, and welcome back to City Walks 360. Fortunately, over the last couple months I’ve filmed a few Non-walking 360 experiences that I thought I’d share. This one is from @BaseCampDogsledding (they post a lot on instagram at @basecampbigforkmt). The 360 camera worked and probably does the best job of capturing the fun and excitement of letting these dogs pull. My son is mushing and you can tell by the smiles and determined look […]
Have you ever been on a sleigh ride in Montana? At Sunset? Now’s your chance to experience on in VR. It’s a quintessential winter experience and I loved saying hi to the horses and chatting with the drivers. VR Double Arrow Ranch Evening Ranch Sleigh Ride – Seeley Lake MT in Glacier Country – 360 Experience Double Arrow Ranch was started way back in 1930 and it was fun to imagine how isolated it must have been way back then. The cabins are modernized and comfortable and Seeley Lake is only a few minutes away, though you’d never know it. […]
A more immersive VR Nature Walk view of Devil’s Tower for the first half of the walk. So peaceful. The VR Experience: Devils Tower Wyoming 360 VR Walking tour – City Walks 360: National Monument and Spiritual Wonder I filmed this walk as a companion to the longer, flat version. The camera will only record up to 30minutes so I typically cut them about there (minus a minute or two of futzing about in the beginning) and I use the flat video’s audio. I forgot to cut that audio so the video stops around 29:56 but the audio continues for […]
The only big white water we have on the Yellowstone is Yankee Jim Canyon. It can be gnarly or a lot of fun. Take a ride! VR Float of Yankee Jim Canyon on the Yellowstone River at ~2900CFS It’s a VERY dry year this year and the Yellowstone River is much lower than normal for this season. We float the notorious Yankee Jim Canyon in rafts and a kayak. At this level, we need to be careful but it’s a pretty basic set of rapids that are super fun but not particularly challenging. If you hear us yelling “Ruthie”, it’s […]
