Lauren “Mothra” Mullen

Hi! I'm Lauren, aspiring Appalachian Trail thru hiker, class of 2025! CO born, NH raised, and I've been dreaming of this all my life. I'm an Engineer, vegetarian, climate activist, and self-proclaimed sufferfest lover! I hiked the Colorado Trail in 2023 and can't wait for more roots, rocks, and nights sleeping on the ground. See you out there!
