15 More National Park Instagram Accounts to Follow

Last May we shared one of our most popular posts on ParkChasers.com: “15 National Park Instagram Accounts to Follow.” We heard your requests and are ready to share our new favorites!

Instagram has become our National Park insta-vacation this winter. We love to scroll through the stunning sunsets and hiking candids. During the 2016 Centennial year, more national park units adopted the social media platform than ever before.  The National Park Service is using Instagram to highlight visitors and share park updates.  It’s a great place to stay connected with your favorite parks.

When we posted back in May, more than 1 million posts included the hashtag #nationalpark.  That number is now 2.1 million. #findyourpark went from 250,000 to more than 700k.  You’ll love opening the app for a quick virtual get-away in the middle of the day.

While we’re still faithful fans of the original 15 instagram accounts, today we’re sharing 15 more national park instagram accounts you should add to your feed right now.  And while you’re adding these, don’t forget to follow us on Instagram: @ParkChasers

Witnessing the majestic Yosemite Falls after a rain storm is truly unforgettable. Enjoy 30 seconds of inspiration from this afternoon.

Happy National Bison Day! This year it is even more exciting since in May of this year President Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law, officially making the American bison the national mammal of the United States. #nationalbisonday #bison #mygrandteton

The Obscure Bird Grasshopper (Schistocerca obscura) rewarded observant hikers on the Sam Nail Ranch trail last week. ⠀ ⠀ Next time you’re on the trail peer through the prickly pear and look beyond the big vistas and absorb the little lessons that hide in the details. ⠀ ⠀ Share your tips for noticing the little things in the comments. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #HikeBigBend #FindYourPark

The #NPSCentennial is in just 5 days! You can celebrate with us tomorrow, Aug 20th at our centennial event and #findyourpark. Clifton Truman Daniel, the grandson of Harry and Bess Truman, will participate in the offical dedication of the Noland Home. The ceremony will take place from 2:30-2:45. The Noland Home, at 216 North Delaware St., is across the street from the Truman Home. It was the home of Harry Truman’s uncle, aunt, and cousins. Childrens activities will follow after the ceremony and will last until 4:30. The offical “Bark Ranger” will make a special appearance. #nps100 #trumanhome #harrystrumannps

“A good Post to be made at the Oneida Carrying Place capable of Lodging 200 men in the Winter and for 3 or 400 men in the Summer for its Defence.” …Though Fort Stanwix was situated in New York, people from many states helped to rebuild and defend it during the American Revolution. Because of their contributions, the fort served not only as an important military post, but also as a place where people from 13 very different states began to forge a national identity.

Nothing says “First Day of Winter” like an eruption of Old Faithful on a clear, zero-degree day! Thanks to Ranger Orville Bach for the footage. #WinterSolstice #Yellowstone #OldFaithful #Geyser #winter

Happy New Year’s Eve! For the safety of the park’s wildlife and vegetation, fireworks are strictly prohibited inside the park. Instead, opt for a more natural kind of light show… [NPS/Hannah Schwalbe: #alttext #Startrails encircle the night sky behind a Joshua tree and desert landscape]

The shortest day of the year—the Winter Solstice—is tomorrow in the Northern Hemisphere. Now the sun sets more than 3 hours earlier than when this photograph was taken this summer on Ruby Beach! After tomorrow, the days will start to slowly lengthen again. Photo: @grantolio #solstice #isitsummeryet #rubybeach #sunset #shortdays
