38 Captions For Hiking Pictures With Your Squad This Fall

Fall is basically the perfect time of year for hiking because the weather isn't too warm, there aren't insects taking up every square inch of sky, and there's impressive fall foliage everywhere you look. It's only natural to want to share the autumnal beauty with everyone you know, so there's bound to be a picture or two posted on your fave app. If you can impress your followers with the perfect hiking Instagram captions, you'll leave them wishing they were outside instead of on their phone.

You can pose with a giant leaf you found at the peak, or on a log that’s surrounded by colorful trees. When you’re at the base of the mountain, you can dance next to the trail sign or point to the entrance that’s right behind you. No matter what pose you decide on, the sun won’t create harsh shadows and highlights, since it’ll be dipping in and out of the autumn clouds. This is super ideal if you like to put a preset or natural-looking edit on your photo, since you won’t need to make any additional adjustments before tapping the “share” button.

After snapping a selfie with your hiking bud or a dreamy photo of the pine cone-covered trail, you can quickly make a post on Instagram and then get back to your adventure. Truthfully, you don’t want to spend your entire fall hike — or any hike, for that matter — on your phone. You want to disconnect and make memories you can look back on.

These hiking captions and mountain puns will make posting a breeze, too, so you can enjoy Mother Earth, evermore, and the autumn oasis in front of you.
