MEET THE ARTIST & THE GUIDE

Hey I’m Bel!

With a vision for building something meaningful, I have blended my passions for the outdoors, art, and bringing people together. She is the founder, the lead guide, and the artist behind Mentality to Reality.

Bel has 6 years of guiding experience in all seasons. She is a born and raised Crested Butte local with deep roots in the West Elk Mountains. You can find her with glitter on her cheeks and a drawing pad in her hand, as she shares what makes these mountains special.
