This is the October 2016 Yosemite Instagram Monthly Review. Autumn arrived in Yosemite with brilliant displays of fall colors in October. The temperatures remained warm, and the hiking trails were crowded. From Valley View to Half Dome with Yosemite Falls in the middle, we had ample opportunities to share images from Yosemite in fall. We appreciate the increased social interactions of likes and comments on our Instagram page. Thank you all for also using the #yexplore hashtag and tagging us in your photos. Here are some of the most liked photos from the YExplore September 2016 Yosemite Instagram page with over 200 likes. There are many more daily images from Yosemite on our feed. We have reached 2458 followers. Please follow and share with other IGers to help us build our Instagram audience @yexplore.

This is what Tenaya Creek at the Mirror Lake outlet sounds like right now.

A place of wonder. Yosemite Valley, YNP. There’s a reason there are popular spots along the road in Yosemite Valley. There are very few people who explore these areas to unlock the magical moments that follow this deeper exploration. Spend minutes instead of seconds and hours instead of minutes. #yosemite #valleyview #yosemiteambassador #myparkisyosemite #nps100 #findyourpark #reflections #landscape_captures #elcapitan #yexplore

Photographing with a camera phone was once frowned upon as a lazy way out of making an image. With advancing technology, these phones are becoming more integral in everyday “outdoor” life. I am currently using the iPhone 6s with an 12 megapixel camera and will share the world of Yosemite through my phone. – John P. DeGrazio
