My wife and I camped at the SP campground. We hiked this trail last month. Your video brings back nice memories!! We made the left turn and followed the Orchard Trail. My Alltrails app showed the sketchy trail you were on, but we decided to go left. Thank goodness we did, as we had our two dogs with us. We took the trail that brought us out to Rt 534 and walked the road back to the parking area. You really don't have to change your filming technique. It's done very well!! Happy trails!
Thanks for the comment, I am glad you enjoyed the video and brought back some nice memories, and thank you for the feedback . Happy hiking to you as well!
I just moved to Pennsylvania and found your video. I love the way you film, the music you choose and the clarity of your videos. Please keep filming you do such of inspiring job. Love it. Best wishes from KOP.
Thanks for that feedback @JeffreySutton I appreciate that and thanks for checking out the video. I try to give as many angles as possible to keep it interesting...
I had been noticing in my travels that all the waterways and streams have been flowing at a healthy clip lately, which is unusual for the end of summer. Thank you for verifying that this is in fact the case and not just in my head! That was my first return to Hawk falls in 12 years, and I find it to be a very photogenic and relaxing place, IF you can time your visit right. By the time I had finished my hike the lot was full and people were asking me for directions to the "swimming area", which is my cue to hit the road, lol.
Your very kind. Yes it is a very scenic spot. We have had alot of rainfall in Pennsylvania recently, and all of the falls and streams have been running strong here. Also lots of mushrooms popping up everywhere. Thank you for watching and commenting, I truly appreciate it!
@@WALTERZOLNA you're welcome 😊 same here lots of rainfall in the South we just did a road trip to see 10 waterfalls in North Carolina and all of them were flowing really good! You're welcome!
ah i wish i was able to see hawk falls while i was there! i was pressed for time so i sort of just was able to see a few things, but i thought the waterfall they had over by the chapel was absolutely stunning! 🌿✨
There are actually a half dozen or more waterfalls and many many riffles and rapids throughout Hickory Run. I do agree the area by the chapel is very scenic. Right across the road from there is the Shades of Death trail, which is a short but scenic trail following another creek. So while Hawk Falls is the biggest waterfall at Hickory Run there are many options for beautiful waterside hikes and views. Thankyou Marie for your comment!
Thanks for the feedback! From my perspective, first person is good if you can hold the camera steady enough and keep it from bouncing around which can be very hard to do on a trail.
Another beautiful film, Gator. It calmed the soul. In answer to your question, I vote for 1st person perspective shots. Sorry you got into poison ivy. It can be nasty. I am glad you found that tick.
My dad would take us to hickory run, to hike, swim and catch salamanders, there is a lake there for swimming, I believe it's called sand spring and also boulder field is there formed by glaciers. Your editing and music is excellent.
I plan to film boulder field at some point in the future. I do spend a good deal of time on music selection and editing, my goal is to truly make the best possible content that I can, thank you for watching and commenting!
Once again you find the coolest places. In answer to your question, I like to see a variety of shots from the walk by shots to the 1st person perspective. You do such a good job mixing them up and giving us a good variety of shots. I'm so jealous you are able to get out so often. I barely get a chance to try new spots. Thanks for sharing all these cool spots. Love the blooper reel at the end! Guess I'm not the only one who has to do take after take.
Thank you for your feedback my friend. I tend to concur that mixing up different angles and shots is the best way to go. I appreciate that you watched till the end, I can be a bit of a perfectionist, and talking scenes like that are always the hardest for me to pull off. So now everybody knows how it really goes out there, lol. As for my ability to get out so much, I have a strange work schedule where its either 60 hours a week or just a handful. I've learned that time is our most precious commodity in life, so I choose to spend as much of mine as possible doing the things I love and pursuing my passion for nature, hiking, and filming whenever I can. Take care my friend.
Thanks Eva, I appreciate your input so much. I hate to admit it, but I have to be honest, I crashed the drone into Mud Run! Luckily I bought the insurance, and I'm in the process of getting a new one. But yes I enjoy the birds eye view myself for sure!
Oh old Hickory Run. I may have explored those areas with a few drinks before I was a responsible adult. Great place. Great video! I think we mountain folks call those “rhododendron” mountain laurel.
You really captured the picturesque nature of the park. I'm sure with the waterfall being so close to the parking lot it gets crowded. I like how you weave the various views throughout your filming. Thank your for all you do in making these engaging videos! The behind the scenes makes me appreciate them all the more, realizing that it sometimes requires multiple takes for a 30 second clip.
Thank you Belle. I know that everyones time is very valuable and I appreciate when they choose to spend a few moments watching one of my films. I do my best to create content that is worthy of their time.
I would love to explore Arkansas some day. I would love to float down the Buffalo River, check out the Ozarks, and also Crater of Diamonds Stare Park among others!
If you haven’t watched Dome Life TH-cam channel they are a married couple from Arkansas and have explored Arkansas and now are full time exploring the United States!
Great video! ROCK ON!!!

I enjoy the mix of different perspectives that you use in filming these videos.
Thank you for your feedback Mark.

Appreciate that Jessica thankyou very much, and welcome to Pennsylvania!
Another banger from the Great North Eastern Trail Gator. 🐊
Thank you sir, truly appreciate that. I got plenty more lined up including something totally different, coming down the pike!
@@WALTERZOLNA when do you start bringing guest hikers?? 🔥 🔥
Great images! Nice camera work. I like a combo of first person and cinematic.
Thanks for that feedback @JeffreySutton I appreciate that and thanks for checking out the video. I try to give as many angles as possible to keep it interesting...
Great waterfall !! Doing hickory run boulder field today 🙏🙏. Keep up the great videos brotha!!!
Truly appreciate that, thanks!
Welcome to my hometown lol usually the waterfall doesn't look that amazing but with all the rain lately it does look nice

Yay another great Pocono trail! I like all the different points of view, especially the addition of the “birds” POV has been nice 😃
Thanks Eva, I appreciate your input so much. I hate to admit it, but I have to be honest, I crashed the drone into Mud Run! Luckily I bought the insurance, and I'm in the process of getting a new one. But yes I enjoy the birds eye view myself for sure!
@@WALTERZOLNA oh no! Yes insurance was definitely a smart decision!
Walter, You're film style is just perfect. You capture these beautiful places perfectly!
Thank you so much I appreciate your feedback!

Thank you Jim, there certainly is much to be seen in the forests of Hickory Run!

I really miss PA and all the places to see! Thankfully Arkansas (next state over) is a lot like PA with outside adventures!
I would love to explore Arkansas some day. I would love to float down the Buffalo River, check out the Ozarks, and also Crater of Diamonds Stare Park among others!
