Americans have always had a love affair with the open road — but there’s one trail so rugged, so unforgiving, that only the bravest have ever dared to take it on. Now, thanks to Ford and Google, that legendary route is no longer just for hardcore adventurers. It’s available to anyone with a computer and an internet connection.
Stretching from Oregon’s wild coastline to the beaches of North Carolina, the TransAmerica Trail (TAT) covers more than 5,900 miles of raw American terrain. This isn’t your average scenic highway — it’s a patchwork of dirt roads, rocky passes, and rugged mountain trails spanning 13 states.
The route was first charted in 1984 by Sam Correro, a man who spent 12 years mapping the path for motorcycles and serious off-road rigs using only public roads and trails. For decades, it’s been a badge of honor for adventurers willing to risk breakdowns miles from civilization.

Ford and Google have teamed up to do something no automaker has ever attempted — capture the entire TransAmerica Trail for Google Street View. For the first time in history, you can explore thousands of miles of America’s toughest terrain without ever leaving home.
