Lauren Reed
Lauren Reed discovered her joy of the outdoors at a young age, exploring the neighborhood and nearby woodlands with siblings and friends. While attending Penn State University she spent weekends leading climbing, canoeing, and hiking trips. She is a ‘Triple Crown’ thru-hiker, having walked the three primary long distance trails across the US. In her time away from longer trails, she works as a wilderness therapy guide and continues finding enrichment outdoors; learning, writing, sharing, photographing, and exploring along the way.
