The Most Instagrammed Places in the Western U.S.

As the summer starts to wind down (sad but true — it's already the end of July!) we're checking our summer bucket lists to make sure we can get everything crossed off before we get crushed under a pile of textbooks in September. And that means planning out the rest of our summer travel. After all, apart from those oh-so-coveted, but short, breaks during the school year, summer is the best time to get away from it all.

Each day this week we'll be showing off the 5 most-Geotagged locations (as identified by our friends at Instagram) in every state, across the United States, and today we're focusing on the west coast.

Check out the map below (to plan your route, of course) and then read on for all of the top 5 most-Instagrammed locales from Alaska to Hawaii.
