Magnificent camera footage. Well done. You captured every beautiful angle of the landscape, And with such respect for the wildlife, and the mountain itself. And you kept it so peaceful to watch, without the noise of humans. I know the exact trails you were traveling on, as I hiked them 40 years ago. I am too old now, and can only walk the flat trails with my dog. Thank you for sharing such a peaceful place, and bringing back some cherished memories. You are a nice respectful young man.
Thank you for such kind and wonderful words. I originally intended to share these videos mainly with my family and friends back in NY since they never get to truly enjoy nature, but I’m glad I made it public. I’m happy that you enjoyed the landscape and the videography and I can’t wait to share more.
Thank you for this lovely hike! My hiking days are over , but I have always regretted not doing this hike on Mt. Rainier. Thank you for letting me walk with you!
Great job on completing this hike and capturing the beauty. I did this hike at the end of July going CCW. It was a hike I will always remember and never look at Mt. Rainier the same in the future.
Glad I was able to share this experience with you! I’ll continue to make more of these videos and share all the nature so feel free to join in on the adventure from home!
Nice! Definitely worth checking out the trail. I’m going to upload a guide video soon which will explain everything about my experience on the trail so hopefully that will give you some more insight and ideas on what you want to do on the trail.
Fantastic video! Well done, just gorgeous. Just watched on a big screen TV with my boyfriend who is planning to do Wonderland this year. Very professional yet felt personal, too. Loved the music, the closeups of flora and fauna, your attention to detail.
@@kwanglinparkthanks, I’m sure he’ll have a great time. I predict your channel is just going to blow up one of these days! Truly great work. We kept commenting as you crossed a creek/bridge/field… “And now he’s got to go back, get his camera, and cross it again!” The little stuff matters.
Glad I was able to share the real essence of the environment I was in. I’ll be putting out a guide video soon in case you or your family are planning on doing the hike!
Thanks so much for sharing this video. I am planning to do a solo hike later this summer if I can get a permit. Beautiful cinematography and looks like you had an amazing time
Can’t wait for the guide and favorite spot video next! Awesome trail. How would you rate the difficulties? And we’re you hiking at night or just dawn of day?
Well done video of the Wonderland Trail. It’s a beautiful location and you captured it so well. Your choice to leave out dialogue was interesting. I enjoyed trail videos with & without dialogue, but having no dialogue, and just the natural sounds, helped bring me into the hike with you. I’m curious, what lens you used? I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video. I used a very basic lens for this video. A 16-50mm with 3.5-5.6f. I kept my shots at 3.5f and tried to make it as wide as possible with this lens. Typically prefer this one since it’s nice and compact to bring on a backpacking trip like this one.
Truly spectacular. You did an awesome job of capturing the beauty of the landscape. I’ve seen many vids of the Wonderland Trail and the is by far the best. Thank you for sharing. Wha time of year was this?
Enjoyed watching this. Nice capture of the trail. It's on my bucket list for my 65th birthday next year. Can't wait to see the guide you put together. What dates did you go this year? Trying to decide if August or September are best for next year.
Both months are great! I started the trail on September 7th til the 12th. I personally liked September because it wasn’t too hot. I think August gets really hot for the hike during the middle of the day. Glad you enjoyed the video! The guide will be uploaded very soon. Hope it helps your planning for your 65th!
Geezus....the benefits of youth. You completed some mileage on each day of your hike. Considering the set up for shots as well. Absolutely amazing!!! What's up with that fresh water lobster??
Appreciate it! I was destroyed afterwards haha and needed about a week of complete recovery. I was surprised as well with how big the crawfish was. Amazing how nature becomes when it’s left alone.
@@kwanglinpark I hiked the White Pass to Cascade Locks part of the PCT when I was 46 - 8 years ago. My body has been aching ever since. Only came across 2 people on that hike. I've never felt so much inner peace as I did on that trip. Never knew about the Wonderland Trail until I came across your video...thank you for sharing. I'm due for another hike.
Very nicely done, very nice music. It was "only" 25 minutes long, but how do you pack that gorgeous full distance into 25 minutes? I've done 80% of it in day hikes only, and I hope to do the other 3 hard-to-get-to sections with overnighters.
Definitely worth doing the whole thing! There are so many more clips that I didn’t share because I wanted to compact my favorites. 25 minutes definitely does not do this trail its justice. Glad you enjoyed and hope you get to those other sections this year.
Haha, I was asking myself that the whole hike. I brought them just in case the one I was wearing wore apart, but didn’t even happen. Definitely an extra weight item that needed to be taken off my pack.
Breathtaking, literally just breathtaking! What a majestic views! This looks fantastic!
Thank you for the comments! Glad that I could share a bit of the beauty I saw.

Thank you! I can only imagine how different it must have been in July and going counterclockwise.
Thank you for sharing! These old hips can no longer do what I enjoyed!

Love this! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed the views! Thanks for watching!
What a well done video!
Thank you! The nature speaks for itself!
Awesome job man.
Hoping to solo the trail myself next season and disconnect for a week

Hope your bf has an awesome time. It was incredibly surreal when I went!

The little stuff matters.
This is stunning. I’m inspired to do this trip.
Glad you enjoyed the video! You should do the trip! Definitely recommend it.
spectacular video. Peach
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
This was lovely. Really took us with you for the quiet hike. Thanks for sharing.
Glad I was able to share the real essence of the environment I was in. I’ll be putting out a guide video soon in case you or your family are planning on doing the hike!
@@kwanglinpark Thanks! We did it in 2016; there's a video on my channel :)
We would LOVE to do it again though. :)
Awesome! Definitely will check out the video and I as well would love to go for another round on the wonderland haha
Thanks so much for sharing this video. I am planning to do a solo hike later this summer if I can get a permit. Beautiful cinematography and looks like you had an amazing time
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you get a chance to do the hike. It was truly jaw dropping.
Unbelievable as usual!
Can’t wait for the guide and favorite spot video next! Awesome trail. How would you rate the difficulties? And we’re you hiking at night or just dawn of day?
Dawn of day and definitely a difficult trail of done in a short amount of time.

Bad ass!
Definitely worth a visit!
Who's child did u sacrifice to have clear skies every day 😂
I’ve just been super lucky in this life haha
why the extra shoes?
Haha, I was asking myself that the whole hike. I brought them just in case the one I was wearing wore apart, but didn’t even happen. Definitely an extra weight item that needed to be taken off my pack.
@@kwanglinpark i brought an extra pair when i flew out to the olympics last month. definitely needed to switch after kicking rocks all day.
@@hermeticallysealed I feel you on that haha
@@kwanglinpark and injinji toe socks really saved me, too. kept the sand at bay on the south coast trail
@@hermeticallysealed I’m gonna have to check those out!
Nice work man. can't wait to do this trail myself.. ✌️🌲
Have a great time! It’s such a wonderful experience.
