Thank you for sharing a beautiful trail. I like to watch a full hike while I walk and I prefer real sounds as well. The video of the waterfalls at the end almost felt like I was there so I appreciated the real nature sounds. But if you decide to use canned or music, I'll just mute the audio. I enjoyed all the extra care that you put into this video. I will watch a few more of your videos now that I have found your channel.
Hello there, I'm not aware of any strict trail restrictions here - except on parts of the Loowit Trail, where you can't venture off-trail up Mt St Helens itself. There are "explore with caution" signs at the start of the trail (which I strive for, to the best of my ability), and an explicitly chained-off area near the first bridge (which I do heed). The awful crumbly trail sections towards the end of the video are surprisingly part of the official trail, & it's been like that for years; I've heard it's currently closed for rehabilitation. But if there's an official off-trail restriction in place for the entirety of Lava Canyon, that'd be valuable to know for future reference - I'd love to reach out to the park for confirmation. Either way, thanks for the comment.
Hats off to you for not adding any background music. Most of the videos online got background birds music. Awesome trail, awesome video.
Thanks a lot.

Very nice! Good job stopping at points of interest and looks like you've got some new gear + better stabilization. Perfect.
Thank you for another beautiful and very scenic walk ! ❤
I appreciate your genuine honesty in the details section. Beautifully captured shots of nature. I'll gladly subscribe to see more, best from NYC

Beautiful landscape with wonderful energy. Thank you for showing this!
good!!
but the camera has distortions ((
How many hours you walk
This hike is about 2 hours if you hike the same route I did, depending on how often you stop
Why do you think you are above the Trail rules when you get off the path?
