ST. LOUIS – If you are looking to explore the U.S. this summer, Missouri just might be the perfect getaway and clearly a great location for photos.

Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis is America’s most Instagrammable national park, according to new research by travel information site Places To Travel.

The study examined Instagram hashtag data and the size of each U.S. national park to find the one with the highest "hashtags per acre."

"Social media continues to play a pivotal role in where we decide to travel to for vacation or for a weekend trip, with many social media users taking to their favorite platform to see the best beauty spots at their chosen destination," a spokesperson for Places To Travel commented on the findings. "This study provides a great insight into which locations are the most photogenic and can guarantee visitors the ‘perfect Insta pic’."
