Staff Picks for best Instagram photo spots on the National Mall
Staff Picks for best Instagram photo spots on the National Mall
Spring is upon us once again in Washington D.C.! We eagerly await the cherry blossom blooms and the revival of our #BloomCam to watch the blooming season unfold before our eyes. So many beautiful photos are shared out from the National Mall to capture this great season with perfect weather, great lighting, and a majestic background all around you. While we stay safe at home, we can enjoy the stunning views of the National Mall through the amazing photos that are captured.
One of the perks of living and working so close the National Mall is that our staff knows every corner of this National Park and where you can find the best photo spots for Instagram!
Some are classic photos spots that everyone should take on their trip to the Mall - like the steps of the Lincoln gazing out at the Reflecting Pool or the base of the Washington Monument where you can put your feet up and pretend to be sitting on the statue. Other spots, though, are hidden gems that you may have overlooked if you didn’t know they were there. Hidden among the trees next to the reflecting pool are great spots like the District of Columbia War Memorial featuring its beautiful classical architecture temple, and the horse stables (soon to be renovated by the Trust!) where you can visit the horses up close and capture photos with them.
