Arden Cherek-Madden

Arden is a Wyoming native who grew up in Cheyenne and is currently a student at the University of Wyoming majoring in Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Management. She loves hiking in Vedauwoo and the Snowy Range, visiting museums, and spending time in downtown Laramie. In the colder months she skis and hunts in Medicine Bow National Forest. Hiking has truly been a lifelong passion of hers - she summited Medicine Bow Peak for the first time at one year old (with lots of help from her parents, of course)!
