Cooper G. grew up exploring the Delaware Water Gap and has since chased wilderness from the Canadian Rockies to the peaks of the Kenai Peninsula. Solo adventures on his bike taught him the joy of simplicity and the freedom of carrying only what you need, lessons he brings to guiding and reading the subtle signs of the landscape. When he’s not kayaking or peak-bagging, Cooper enjoys finishing an adventure novel, baking “30-minute” brownies in 20, and indulging in the ultimate reward: a long couch nap.
