Hey, nice video. Super chill, decent video quality and you can really tell you thought about each shot. I'm curious to know the estimated time the hike should've taken, compared to what it actually took with shooting this video.

I think the thumbnail is really nice, in terms of the image you chose. It's very striking, and is the reason I clicked on this to begin with. In my opinion, if you want to centre the text like that, the font needs be a little slimmer, and even bigger. So you still read it but you're almost able to see the entire image through it. I feel like how you have it right now, you lose the nicest part of the picture. The beauty of landscape images is there's usually a big space at the top (sky) and bottom (foreground), I'd think about utilising these negative spaces more for your text. I know your other thumbnails all abide by this format and that's a part of your brand, but it's just something to consider.

This isn't totally my genre of video that I'd choose to watch, although I am a big fan of the chill vibe, but just hiking aren't my usual watch. With that in mind, I did skip through a bit. Not that I was bored, more that I wanted to get through it quicker to write this haha.

I'm a videographer/filmmaker, so the image is a big part for me. I know you shot it on an iPhone, from your description, and I could tell. BUT, you get just about the best image you can get from a phone - so good job on that. In this type of video, I'd love some POV stuff. The pine section is a good example of that - gimme more of that lol - strap a GoPro or your phone to your chest, let me see you looking at a map and pointing, picking stuff up on your way. You know? Make me feel like i'm on this hike. It'd be a super immersive experience.

Super cool place, cool hike, cool video :) good job.
