Our First Instagram Takeover

Last week, SoCal Hiker held our first Instagram takeover. Taking over the feed was my daughter, @wildwithleaves. She had a great time sharing shots from some of her own adventures, and I’ve now added a few new places to my already long list of places to adventure to!

If you’re on Instagram, give @wildwithleaves (and @theSoCalHiker, too!). Be sure to hashtag your own adventures on Instagram with #SoCalHiker and (for you Six-Pack Challengers) #SixPackOfPeaks. Follow the hashtags to see where other SoCal hikers have been adventuring.

Got suggestions for who should do the next takeover? Leave a comment!

Hi y'all! @wildwithleaves here! I'm an adventurer, creative & lover of wildflowers here in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm a huge believer in seeing the beauty that is all around each one of us & of course, capturing those special moments?✨ I'm excited to share some of my adventures with you over the next week and happy to meet you! ?? This photo is from the start of a road trip I did over the summer at Garden of the Gods in Colorado. Have any of y'all gotten a chance to see this Colorado beauty?

Currently dreaming of chasing waterfalls? This is Rock Island one of the best places in Tennessee to go cliff jumping, exploring & floating on the water. What are some of your last escapes planned this summer? – @wildwithleaves

One of the incredible things about exploring the Great Sand Dunes is seeing so many different types of terrain all in one place. — @wildwithleaves
