SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK / Best Hikes + Waterfalls in 4K | (Plus, why the mountain range looks blue)

Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is only 75 miles west of Washington, D.C. The fall colors are epic, but I learned summer is also a great time to visit. I hiked four different trails, saw more than a dozen waterfalls, and camped in the back of my VW Passat for only $20/night.

👋🏼 About me...
Hey there! I'm Kevin Lewis, a TV news reporter at ABC7 in Washington, D.C.

I launched this travel journalism YouTube channel in 2021, with the goal of sharing stories that unite and uplift society. Lord knows there is way too much of the opposite these days.

My videos focus on national parks, state parks, small and mid-sized cities, and the interesting people I meet along the way! 🎥 🚐 I hope you'll subscribe to my channel to learn more about this world we all call home.

Very well-done and informative! I learned more about the park watching this video than I would have in watching a whole series of other videos.

Great video Bro, my wife and I plan on ride the Skyline this weekend and your video has helped me the most thank you.

Are you going to school for news broadcasting? This video is spectacularly amazing with excellent B roll. That B roll, the voiceover at exact moments and the transitions and flow just remind me of a more perfected 10 min clip from a prime time news show.

Edit: Made the above comment before seeing in a video about SW stranding you and editing the news 7 footage and knowing you ACTUALLY are/were a news reporter.

Always a great sample of although the years go by and the technology to the human being, always needs to connect with nature, thank you for sharing this definitely a destination on my list.

You're a natural, well done. But those little falls weren't on White Oak, those were on Cedar Run.

Would you recommend coming here in the middle of November? Thank you!
