Reviews for Hike & Paint Experience: Explore & Create with Your Crew

This was a wonderful experience. Sarah was super knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. The hike was beautiful and very inspiring, and her instructions on painting were easy to follow such that I ended up with something I can be proud of. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

My excursion was absolutely amazing!! The guide was very sweet and knowledgeable about the local area. I did the easy hike, which was very easy and would be great for beginners, families, or someone looking so a light activity. The painting was extremely fun and the guide walked me through each step while encouraging me to take risks and make the painting my own. 10/10 experience would definitely recommend!!

Sarah is such a creative, mindful and responsible art guide. She took my wife and I to a great spot in Boulder and inspired us to create and connect with nature and art outdoors. It was my first experience with acrylic painting and Sarah made sure we had everything we needed in a safe and beautiful spot. A truly plein air experience!

My daughter and I had a great time hiking and painting under the pines. Sarah brought us back to nature allowing us to experience it's beauty and appreciate the local trails. Even for this inexperienced painter, I came out with a painted canvas I am proud of. It was a perfect way to spend a beautiful fall morning with my creative daughter!

My friend and I went on The Aspen Trailblazer Hike and Paint and it was amazing! Sarah was an awesome guide and teacher. Neither of us are artists, but she gave us tips and techniques that allowed us to create paintings we both are proud of. She is so nice, informative and had us take time to really appreciate the beautiful surroundings. We both said we would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Sarah and Abstract Adventures.

Lovely time experiencing nature's beauty and learning to paint with our feelings in mind! Sarah was an excellent guide to both showing us the ropes for painting natural scenes and connecting what we saw in nature to our own artistic expression. Thanks for the good times!

Couldn’t recommend this more! myself and a friend has the pleasure of having a hike with just us and Sarah. she was both knowledgeable, kind and so supportive of us for our journey. i came excited and left overjoyed, centered and grateful. the painting was so fun too! we took the “moderate” hike but it was totally doable for those who are not active hikers or might be nervous for the climb. everyone book this experience asap!

What a nice low key way to introduce ourselves to the mountain region after moving to Denver from North Carolina. Sarah did a nice job of helping us detach from our day-to-day, connect with nature, and “climb our first mountain” which involved a casual walk up trails in Mount Falcon Park. Perfect for those of us acclimating to mile plus altitude. The setting for our painting lesson was delightful as was the instruction. We each came away with a unique painted canvas. Thumbs up! Thank you Sarah.

Sarah led us on a wonderful 3 mile hike that included an immersive paining session. She was knowledgeable about the area while hiking and took us through a wonderful painting session. This was a truly unique half day experience that allowed us to enjoy nature and truly unleash our creativity. A truly one of a kind Colorado experience.

Sarah has put together a truly wonderful experience with the guided hike and paint! She took us on a moderate 2 mile and focused us on our beautiful surroundings, plant life, history and light patterns. We were then able to incorporate what we saw into our painting as she taught us techniques to create mountains, use painting tools and overall make a memorable painting. Can’t recommend this experience enough!

Amazing experience! Knowledgeable, kind, and fun tour guide/instructor. I learned so much about the area where we were hiking as well as painting techniques. Highly recommend, can't wait to go again.

If you’re looking for a fun way to be out in nature, you need to experience the magic of Abstract Adventures! Sarah is wonderful at providing an approachable art class while you’re surrounded by the beauty of the mountains. Unlike anything I’ve ever done before and will definitely do again! SUPER beginner friendly! It’s a great way to tap into your creativity with such a supportive, encouraging teacher.

This is such a great way to connect with nature and get artsy! Our guide gave us excellent instructions and tips for painting as well as giving us fun information about the area we hiked. Highly recommend!

Abstract Adventures was so much fun!!! It provided a great opportunity to stop and be present in nature as well as learn new art techniques. Sarah was really chill and approachable and great at walking us through a style of painting we hadn’t tried before. 10/10 would recommend!

What a great experience! 100% recommended. I learned some basics about painting while I enjoyed a beautiful and peaceful landscape with good company. I loved this experience and can't wait to repeat it :)
