TikTok has a way of creating all kinds of communities, whether that’s groups of fans, hobbies, or cultures, people will always connect on social media, especially with TikTok.
Interesting this always happen when these communities end up breaking out of their niche, especially when the accounts are posting things that are a little… strange.
Recently, a Yellowstone National Park fan account has been going viral for posting, of all things, thirst traps.
The fan account has been blowing up recently for posting tons of these thirst trap-style videos, and viewers are all over it. It seems that this is becoming a growing trend, even past this Yellowstone account.
Other National Park fan accounts have been popping up doing the same thing.
This trend seems to be only growing with new accounts popping up every day, and fans of the posts in the comments are totally here for it.
“I’ve fallen onto the unhinged national parks side of TikTok, and I love it. 😆😆”
“I’ve legitimately decided to take up camping because of this unhinged park war. Besides the fact it’s entertaining, they include beautiful photos and interesting facts! All around 5 stars.”
“This national parks spicy thirst trap drama tok is hilarious.”
It seems all of these commenters are pointing to a rather interesting fact: These funny clips are sparking new interest in the national parks. Who knew that’s what it would take to get people to visit?
This trend is showing no signs of stopping, so instead of simply watching, pay the parks a visit and see the real deal.
