About Us

Our Story

Adam and Jamie first met on a hiking trail in Boulder, Colorado in the spring of 2019. Jamie was struggling with her heavy backpack when Adam offered to help carry some of her gear up the steep trail. What started as a kind gesture turned into a 6-hour hike filled with laughter, shared stories, and an instant connection.

After that first hike, they were inseparable. They've since climbed mountains together, camped under the stars, and explored wilderness areas across the country. Their love for the outdoors and adventure has been the foundation of their relationship.

Adam proposed on their favorite trail - the same one where they first met - during a sunrise hike in October 2023. Jamie said yes before he even finished asking the question!

Adam Markon

Adam is a software engineer who traded his city life for mountain adventures. When he's not coding, you can find him planning the next hiking trip, perfecting his campfire cooking skills, or researching the best trails in the area. He's the navigator of the relationship and always knows exactly which trail to take.

His favorite things: Morning coffee on mountain peaks, his trusty hiking boots, and making Jamie laugh with his terrible trail jokes.

Jamie Cooper

Jamie is a wildlife photographer who finds beauty in every corner of nature. She's the reason their hiking trips take twice as long (in the best way possible) because she stops to photograph every wildflower, bird, and scenic vista. Her adventurous spirit and positive attitude make every outdoor challenge feel like an exciting opportunity.

Her favorite things: Golden hour photography, discovering hidden waterfalls, and Adam's terrible trail jokes (even though she pretends they're not funny).
