super sunny clear day

[@Zoomdak]

It was a great day for a hike, not to many bugs and only about 50 trees down over the trail, ha! Appreciate your support as your channel is such an inspiration to me, so thank you!

There is no match for that Oregon skyline. Absolutely beautiful video.

[@Zoomdak]

Truly! It's a remarkable skyline.

[@RASHMITHEONE]

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing!!!!

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks for watching! Glad to bring a bit more beauty into the world!

Great pace snd piano music as mood setting in this lovely hiking video. Thanks for posting

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much. It was an amazing hike. Difficult with the elevation and heat, but so worth the 360 views from the top!

[@CraigKoppel]

Kraig Adams is definitely the king of these types of videos. We all try to make our videos like his but he is the best. You definitely did a good job. Lots of great views here. Even the dead trees looked amazing. Nicely done. 👍

[@Zoomdak]

His style and storytelling is remarkable, one my main inspirations for good reason! Thanks for your support, appreciate it!

[@laurarobinson625]

Great capture of a beautiful hike. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks for watching, appreciate it!

Great work, loved the contrast with the dark peaks and still some snow, the slide at 1;55 was awesome 😁😁🥰

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much. Was a fun slide down the snow, would have been a funny outtake if I had fallen :D

[@waterfallmadman]

Lots of blow downs there. Great hike and beautiful views.

[@Zoomdak]

It was! Plenty of trees to climb over and add to the challenge. Well worth the stellar views from the top.

[@ervinslens]

Such a great hike, b-roll shots are phenomenal!

[@Zoomdak]

Thank you! Pretty incredible views made carrying a telephoto lens to the top worth it!

[@vs123]

It's a very beautiful natural

[@Zoomdak]

Agreed, wonderful to enjoy the beauty of nature!

[@MattCookOregon]

Nice one. Seems like it would be a good ski up right now.

[@Zoomdak]

Probably would be right now!

[@hallahiking2933]

Thats gotta be covered in snow this time of year? Great footage my friend! Thx for sharing!

[@Zoomdak]

Think it would be some decent skiing right now! Thanks for watching!

[@TrailPerspectiv]

Absolutely amazing man! Very well made and done, perfect blue bird blue sky day, you absolutely captured the majesty of that area! You must not have a fear of heights like I do, I've done that hike before but didn't have the courage to climb to the top of the rocks like that, my heart skipped a beat when you did that hahahaha. Loved the glissading at the end! Well done man, your videos are living art!

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much for your kind words. I don't have too much of a fear of nature made heights for whatever reason, but man made heights (like escalators) sometimes really freak me out! It was a gorgeous day to get out. Thanks for watching!

[@imaracorsico]

I really like🤩👍👍

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much!

[@KI6ESH]

Awesome work, thanks for sharing it! I still haven't done that hike but recognize all of the scenery around it from other trips! One thing I'd recommend is to include the approximate date of the hike in the description somewhere, just so people have an idea of what it would look like around that date in the future.

[@Zoomdak]

Thanks so much! Including the date is a great idea, I'm going to go put those in past videos as well.

[@BeanCruisers]

01:06 😱

[@Zoomdak]

Amazing view from the top! I guess I'm not too afraid of heights.

[@northcoastoutdoorchannel]

Stunning area! Was the trail busy? The shots of other cascades were fantastic from the top. Great job as always!

[@Zoomdak]

Probably saw about 10 or so people in total, so not hardly busy at all on a Sunday morning in July! It was a pretty unique view from the top. I want to see the film you put together from when you hike up there!
