Let\u2019s talk numbers for a moment. Did you know there are 1,440 minutes in a day?<\/p>\n
In late 2012, we dreamed about what it would look like to showcase how our community of adventure- loving people spend those 1,440 minutes. From snapshots of thru hikers on the Appalachian Trail at sunrise to the runner enjoying a twilight training run in Big Sur, we love seeing how you celebrate every minute outside.<\/p>\n
The other number worth mentioning is 500,000. That\u2019s how many photos have been tagged #REI1440Project on Instagram. That\u2019s a lot of moments spent outside!<\/p>\n
In honor of the 500k milestone, we asked the 1440 community<\/a> to share a photo and include a caption that answers the question \u201cWhy do you love spending time outside?\u201d. \u00a0Below are a few favorites \u00a0\u2013 we hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n\n
