Bestselling books like "A Walk In The Woods" and "Wild" have inspired many people to get out on the trails and connect with nature. But critics say many recent outdoor enthusiasts are just there to get a great picture. Are they just in search of the perfect Instagram moment? 🏞️ 📸

Do people go hiking just for Instagram?
Hiking is good for you, whether or not you take a picture of the trail.

We get it, being in nature relaxes you. But thanks for supplying us with the picture of you meditating at the cliff's edge. Some "hikers" even spend more time picking out outfits to go outdoors. Good Lord. Critics are just really annoyed with the photos of narcissistic hikers.
"Many of these accounts claim to want to inspire people to get outside, but rather than inspiring people to get outside and hike/climb/bike/ski/kayak/camp, it seems they only inspire people to go to a beautiful location and try to take the perfect picture. Is that all being outside has come down to in the age of Instagram?"
