Share

If you follow the White House on Instagram (@whitehouse), you won’t see the usual presidential goings-ons. Photographers, adventurers and outdoors lovers have “taken over” the site Thursday in honor of the National Park Service’s centennial.

You can spend the day cherishing some of the most beautiful spots in our national parks, courtesy of some high-profile outdoors lovers. The first three photos posted Thursday featured national parks in California.

California photographer Chris Burkard (@chrisburkard) was the first to share an other-worldly photo of Yosemite National Park. Rock climber Sasha DiGiulian weighed in with a photo of Lost Arrow Spire, a big-wall climb on a pillar near Yosemite Falls.

And Loki the Wolf Dog (@loki_the_wolfdog) reflects on the big trees in Redwood National and State Parks in Northern California.

Stay tuned for others, like photographer/mountaineer Jimmy Chin and snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, as more photos are posted throughout the day.
