Three iconic landscape features from national parks in Utah landed on a list of the Top 10 most popular Instagram photos posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 2014.
The Narrows at Zion National Park
Mesa Arch during sunrise at Canyonlands National Park
Delicate Arch, of course, under the Milky Way in the night sky.
The list was announced Wednesday by Time and came from postings of the "usinterior" account on Instagram.
Wyoming also fared well on the list with two images from Grand Teton National Park and another from Devils Tower National Monument - another night sky image.
Wildlife images were also popular with an image of a bear waving at the photographer from Alaska's Clark National Park making the list. A herd of steaming bison on a cold morning in Yellowstone National Park was also included, as was a mountain goat wandering in wildflowers during sunset at Glacier National Park.
The surprise of the bunch was a stunning picture taken from inside a canoe at Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
