Naked Planet is another crowdsourced Instagram account dedicated entirely to outdoor inspiration. The finished product comes in many shapes and sizes, too. There’s a post of a cat wearing a raincoat while on a hike and a gorgeous, juxtaposition shot of New York City’s Central Park and Upper East Side neighborhood. Whatever the scale or source material, the desired outcome remains the same: Highlight our beautiful surroundings and inspire people to keep exploring.
Taking a few minutes to thumb through Instagram is one of the best ways to indulge in some outdoor inspiration – short of actually living out the photographs for yourself. The eight accounts above only scratch the surface in terms of what’s available (there are literally thousands out there) but should make anyone feel the desire to be a little more adventurous. We won’t blame you for finally booking that trip you’ve been waffling on.
