Erin Mihn

Erin grew up in the Dallas and Houston suburbs but has always loved getting deep into nature. As a young adult, she took a course on wolf behavior in Yellowstone National Park and came away completely changed. She saw wolves, grizzlies, and countless coyotes and eagles. What she recalls most vividly is how she felt when she saw these animals in their natural habitat—a sense of complete awe and peace. She knew at that moment that she wanted to commit her life to protecting wildlife while helping others find similar experiences in nature. That resolve led her to study parks and recreation at Northern Arizona University, followed by a master's degree in tourism from Colorado State University.

Erin has worked hard and played even harder across the country and around the world. She has lived in seven states, adventuring across deserts, oceans and mountains. She has held a variety of jobs, including endangered tortoise tracker, children's yoga instructor, trail crew member, rodent weigher, server, veterinary assistant, tech trainer and more. Along the way, she found her fortune in friends, stories and inspiring experiences in the natural world. She is thrilled to be part of Natural Habitat Adventures, working with a fabulous group of like-minded folks. When she's not hard at work, Erin is usually with her husband, daughter and their food-obsessed hound dog DeeDee. You can find her cheering on her daughter's soccer or basketball teams, hiking and camping throughout Colorado.
