All it takes is a few minutes in the District's preserves to realize there are some stunning sights and sounds to take in, whether it's while kayaking on the water, hiking a trail or simply sitting on a bench scanning the horizon.
We've been out and about capturing the beauty with 360-degree photos and the public has been sharing their photos in our Preserve the Moment photo contest, which wrapped up on December 31. There's also our Instagram account, filled with colorful photos sure to inspire others to hit the trails.
But for the hardcore Instagram users, what are the hottest spots guaranteed to provide the perfect shot sure to impress your followers?
Here's our top nine go-to sights:
1. Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve: Head out to Snapper Pond. You won't be disappointed.
2. Hadley Valley: No explanation needed.

4. Wauponsee Glacial Trail: With or without a filter, who doesn't like a cool bridge shot?
5. Keepataw Preserve: From up close or far away, there are multiple options here.
