During peak aspen season, Oh Be Joyful Gallery staff and artists took to the trails around Crested Butte by pack animal. Gallery artists including Jim Wodark, David Grossmann, and Nicholas Reti made paintings and sketches and took photos on location off of Dark Canyon Trail on Kebler Pass for four days.
Surrounded by 360 degree mountain views, the world’s largest aspen grove, and with the help of the pack animals of Dark Canyon Outfitters, there was no shortage of inspiration.
