PHOENIX – Instagram has evolved since its debut in 2010, adding creative filters, daily stories, and more to one of social media’s most popular apps.

The creativity involved in each user’s post — and at times, the lack there of — has allowed for websites to feature the most shared location in each state.

In 2016, Phoenix’s Roosevelt Row Arts District was the most “Instagrammed” location, according VICE’s The Creator Project.

Another study conducted in early Jan. by Teen Vogue revealed the five most “Instagrammed” locations in Arizona, with the Grand Canyon placing first – -shocking, right?

Now, as we near the end of 2017, BuzzFeed conducted its own study.

The Grand Canyon National Park was again named the most “Instagrammed” location in Arizona, stacking up with the likes of Wrigley Field in Illinois, Disney California Adventure Park in California and Glacier National Park in Montana, just to name a few.

We want to hear from you.
