Our Favorite Arizona Instagram Accounts

It’s pretty incredible to think about all of the natural beauty we have in our own Arizona backyard. It’s why so many of us stay within the state border when we run off for a road trip or vacation. With the year-round sunshine, great hiking and vast natural beauty here in Arizona – it’s no wonder so many memorable photos are captured here.

And if you want some inspiration for your next Arizona “staycation,” or just enjoy taking in the beauty of our home state – we have some Instagram accounts for you! Check out these lovers of Arizona from behind their lens.

It’s no secret that Arizona is one of the best places to break a sweat on a good hike. One such Instagrammer shares our love for the outdoors with their account, @hikearizona. Check out all the best spots for your practical hike, and some for the extreme hikers that are looking for a little adrenaline rush.

With as many national parks as we have in Arizona (24 to be exact), it’s no surprise that we frequent the Instagram accounts dedicated to the beauty of the national parks themselves. All the red tones, stone and magnificent sunsets can be spotted on @nationalparksguide.
