With the popularity of Instagram, wanderlust has become a cultural phenomenon.
People are constantly sharing photos of beautiful spots around the world, but you don’t have to travel overseas to capture iconic landmarks. In fact, the good ol’ U.S. of A is home to so many hot spots for your #travelgram.
Here are our top ‘gram-worthy travel destinations here in the states.
Zion National Park, Utah
More than four million people visit Zion National Park each year. Its numerous trails, verdant valleys, and vermilion cliffs are just a few reasons why it’s a traveler’s favorite.
Multnomah Falls, Oregon
As the most visited recreational site in the Pacific Northwest, Multnomah Falls welcomes more than two million visitors each year (that’s some serious #views!).
Santa Monica Pier, California
You haven’t had a true California experience until you’ve walked the Santa Monica Pier, seen the ferris wheel, and eaten a corn dog. Fun fact: it’s the first concrete pier on the west coast.
Times Square, New York
Arguably the epicenter of the concrete jungle, Times Square is a quintessential spot for anyone visiting the big apple. The skyscraper buildings illuminated by lights, photos, and videos, the gridlock traffic, and the sea of people are things you have to see firsthand.
Brooklyn Bridge, New York
After 14 years of construction, the Brooklyn Bridge opened to the public in 1883 and is one of New York’s most iconic landmarks. Each day, it transports 120,000 vehicles and 4,000 pedestrians. Don’t forget to stop for a quick selfie!
Skydeck, Illinois
Housed in Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower), the Skydeck is the place to go for breathtaking views of the windy city. At 1,353 feet above ground, it’s the highest observation deck in the United States.
Mount Rushmore, South Dakota
Located in Keystone, South Dakota, Mount Rushmore is a massive, granite sculpture depicting the faces of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Where else can you get pictures of presidents on a mountain?
St. Louis Gateway Arch, Missouri
You absolutely have to take a trip to the midwest to get a picture of the Gateway Arch — the tallest (standing at 630 feet tall), man-made national monument in the United States.
Fenway Park, Massachusetts
Home of the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park opened in 1912 and is the oldest Major League Baseball stadium. It’s so Instagram-worthy that it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
Space Needle, Washington
Built in 1962, this historic landmark’s top serves as an aircraft beacon and houses 848 steps from the bottom of the basement to the observatory deck. It also offers some really great angles for an #instatravel moment.
