It’s 2017, and everyone’s on Instagram — toddlers, cats, grandparents and even states.
While international travel has its allure, U.S. domestic destinations can be equally fulfilling with rich history, natural beauty and cultural traditions. Here are our top 5 favorite states to follow on Instagram.
Alaska | @travelalaska
The Last Frontier is a relatively untouched geographical gem, twice the size of Texas and home to a wide variety of natural life from dense forests and sprawling lakes to towering mountain peaks and lush greenery.
Arizona | @visit_arizona
Arizona is home to some of the most dramatic landscapes in the United States, and the state’s tourism Instagram does an incredible job capturing its unique beauty. Browse sweeping deserts, the Grand Canyon, Ponderosa tree-covered mountain towns and sunsets over vibrant red rock formations.
California | @visitcalifornia
As a state whose geographic makeup changes dramatically from one end to another, California’s photo opportunities are plentiful. From the northern California Bay Area and the rolling green vineyards of the Napa Valley, down to the sunny beach regions of SoCal, The Golden State’s Instagram captures its mountains, deserts, beaches, vineyards, bustling urban areas and everything in between.
Hawai’i | @gohawaii
If you can’t actually experience a tropical getaway, you might as well live vicariously through the glorious photos shared on Hawai’i’s Instagram. The Aloha State shares pictures capturing not only its natural beauty but its rich cultural customs, from hula dancing to live ukulele music.
New York | @iloveny
Like California, New York is home to a wide variety of sights, landmarks and landscapes, from expansive lakes and towering mountains to Manhattan’s bustling financial district and Brooklyn’s edgy, art-filled streets.
