Looking for eye candy? Try a national park in 2016

Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park was never so enchanting as in this multi-image panorama shot created under the Milky Way on a boardwalk to Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in the park. The image was shared with the national park service by photographer David Lane on Instagram (David Lane)

PUBLIC LANDS -- Looking back at 2015 is especially eye-pleasing by checking in on the U.S. Department of Interior's Instagram account to be inspired by the gorgeous nature photos visitors have made in America's national parks.

America's public lands are some of the most beautiful places in the world. As 2015 comes to a close, explore Interior's top Instagrams of the year.

Then get your camera ready and make plans to get your own great photos in 2016.
