"Leaving the desert"

This artifact is Jessica "Dixie" Mills's Instagram post in which she documents herself and her friends hiking through the Wyoming desert and approaching the Wind River Range mountains on the Continental Divide Trail. Dixie uses her Instagram, @homemadewanderlust, as a microblog to showcase her experience hiking the Continental Divide Trail, and this content presents the unique desert component of the hike. She uses a high-quality camera to capture a clear resolution with contrasting colors of the landscape and her fellow hikers. Alongside the picture is her caption updating her followers on her progress through the trail, and several followers express their excitement in the comments.
