Government is not known for its excellence in using social media — but the Interior Department, which oversees the country's federal parks, has totally figured out Instagram. Just look at some of these gorgeous recent shots:

The Interior Department has been on Instagram for almost exactly a year, Director of Digital Strategy Tim Fullerton told Mashable

"We launched our Instagram just basically to show the public all of the amazing lands that we have across the country," Fullerton said.

Most of the Interior Department's Instagram photos come from department staff or from the public's submissions to photo contests. Interior is running one such contest this summer — the "Summer in America’s Great Outdoors" project, which asks parkgoers to submit their park photography to this Flickr collection.
