Alaskan Motorcycle Trip

Douglas Printz

Hop on a motorcycle and travel through the Alaskan wilderness.

The route from California to Alaska takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery our planet has to offer. From the lush terrain of Northern California, through the Canadian Rockies and onto the icey wilderness of the Arctic Circle. Follow two intrepid motorcycle enthusiasts as they embark on a journey of discovery. Viewing tip: Turn "Terrain" on in your layers section.

Ever fancied being a pilot or air traffic controller? Come closer with Google Earth.

Matt Fox from the GE Library has created this KML showing 3D airspace for the United States. Image overlays which become higher in resolution the closer you zoom in, and polygons representing airspace regions are available, giving an interesting look at air navigation. Additional viewing tip: If you press CTRL + G, you can "fly" in "Flight Control" mode giving a more realistic experience - CTRL + T will return you to the standard mode.
