Lauren Udwari

Lauren grew up in Maryland, a state associated with the Chesapeake Bay and delicious seafood. But she’s always been a mountain girl. She fell in love with Salt Lake City when she drove through on a cross-country, 16,000-mile road trip in 2010. A year later, she quit her D.C. job to start a life out west with her husband Josh. Now she spends her time on the trail with her dog, Margot. When she’s not on the trail, she watches the clock at her communications day job, counting down the minutes to the weekend, which usually involves camping, hiking, or road-tripping. She’s utterly passionate about Utah and its unparalleled wilderness; a place that enables her to live by her tattoo, “all good things are wild and free.”
