Washington's 3 National Park in 3 Days

VIDEO LINK: Washington's 3 National Parks in 3 Days (Mount Rainier, Olympic, North Cascades) | Outdoor Detour I spent Oct 20-23 on a quick trip in Washington crossing out all three National Parks up there. I typically treat my first trip to a new location as more of a scouting and photography trip--planning out sunrise and sunset shooting locations, then everything in-between, and as soon as it gets dark I start driving to my next location so I'm ready to go at sunrise. This way I can get the lay of the land, see as may sights as humanly possible, and then I'll know exactly where I want to spend more or less time on future trips back there. So this was very much the first trip of many to the PNW, as I still have so much more to explore out there. I've always been more into photography but I've always taken videos documenting my outdoor trips for snapchat and instagram and have even started proper blogging at OutdoorDetour.com, but I decided I wanted to try my hand at the YouTube/vlogging game, so this is the first time I've actually set out to make a proper video using trip footage. Let me know what you think, because I'm planning on continuing this for every future trip. Keep in mind.. this is my very first proper trip video and first time using Adobe Premiere CC. I'm not a movie maker or a wordsmith or an artist. Just trying to make some original content that people might be interested in. So I'm looking for any and all constructive criticism on the video. What did you like, what didn't you like, what would you want to see more or less of? If you're more interested in the photography side of things, you can find more trip photos over at instagram.com/OutdoorDetour. Thanks, everyone! My Itinerary: Arrive 2pm.
