America's most instagrammed (and totally underrated) places

Instagram, the insanely popular photo-sharing app, has certainly influenced the rise in "photo adventurers". You know those people, they're ones who plot out a quick weekend escape, or a weeks-long road trip to a beautiful place, and once they get there they begin snapping away. Or, I guess you don't really "snap" a picture on an iPhone, but you get the point. Of course, scores of people have always visited state and national parks since they were first established, but it's an undeniable (and scientifically-proven fact) that many parks have reported a significant rise in visitors since the advent of social media and photo-sharing apps. Whether photo-sharing has simply exposed more people to our beautiful parks, or more people want to simply participate in those jealousy-inducing adventures you see shared on Facebook or Instagram and share them, thus perpetuating the cycle of "Hey! Look at the cool place I visited this weekend!" Regardless of their motivations, as long as these "Instagram explorers" adhere to the adage of "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints" it's all good in my book. Now, it's fairly obvious which places are geotagged the most on Instagram (i.e. Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, etc. and a crazy number of photos tagged at ballparks), but here are some of the most popular and underrated places that show up in the list of "Most Instagrammed Places in America."
