I have recently started an Instagram account. I found myself needing #hashtags for the outdoors. So I started developing a list of outdoor hashtags and photography hashtags. I wished to share these hashtags with people. I am not really sure how other social media websites handle hashtags or the limit is so I am just going to focus on Instagram for now. The lists are pretty big so I will put them in a text file. I am not very popular in Instagram. So I cannot tell you or give you any tips to make you more popular. But at least, I can give you some good hashtags for your camping, hiking, outdoor and other landscape type pictures. I don’t know how you can get your picture at the top post. I see my pictures at recent post all the time but I hardly see my pictures at the top post.
You can also follow me at @imaginelovinglife if you wish to see any of my pictures and look at my adventures. I have a big list of words and I put them all on a google sheet. You can find the google sheet all the way at the bottom.
Hiking Hashtags
Here are some hiking hashtags that I have found. I put in the amount of post each of them has. Keep in mind though that the numbers will increase in time. This will still give people a rough idea on the popularity of each keyword.

Backpacking Hashtags
Here are 15 backpacking keywords that can help you out. For some reason, I couldn’t find a lot of backpacking words that are pretty popular. Hopefully, this short list can still help you out.

Camping Hashtags
Here are 15 of the top camping hashtags I have found. There are more at the google sheet that I created below. For camping, you will not see pictures of landscapes and views all the time. Sometimes, they are just views of tents, trailers, hammocks, and places people sleep while on a roadtrip or on a backpacking adventure.

Outdoor Hashtags
Outdoor hashtags are pretty popular. However, they do not have to be views of mountains, rivers and stuff. They could just be people doing outdoor activities, sports, walking in the park, and stuff like that. I tried to pick the ones that have lots of people posting views, viewpoints, mountains and so on.
| #outdoors | 40,299,976 |
| #outdoor | 15,894,380 |
| #thegreatoutdoors | 4,231,751 |
| #outdoorlife | 3,328,969 |

| #outdoorfun | 574,806 |
| #outdoorslife | 489,104 |
| #outdooradventurephotos | 482,844 |
Landscape Hashtags
Landscape is pretty popular as well. This is very specific and great for photographers who love to take pictures of land. I did not include Earth and other photography words in this list though. Like I said before, I have more words at the google sheet below. This is just the top 15 most popular words that I have found.
| #landscape | 98,749,412 |
| #landscapephotography | 17,730,447 |
| #landscape_lovers | 8,002,312 |
| #landscapes | 7,500,172 |

| #landscape_specialist | 595,658 |
Forest And Trail Hashtags
This set includes trees, forests, trails, and other types of words pertaining to common hiking trails. Common hiking trails are often very woody and full of trees. This is the reason I also made this list. If you take pictures of woods, forests and trees then these hashtags will help you out.

Google Sheet Data
I put all the keywords, and data on a google sheet so that people can easily see the words. People can just copy and paste also which can save people time. This is the google sheet address. If this is your first time using google sheet, you can move from one sheet using the links at the bottom. The links are like at the footer level. Well, have fun and good luck.
Hashtags That Were Not Included
There were a lot of hashtags that I did not include especially when it comes to nature, photography, mountains and travel. Maybe someday in the future, I will list some more. This is a pretty comprehensive list already. Take the words that you like and discard the rest.
Like!! I blog frequently and I really thank you for your content. The article has truly peaked my interest.
