A jewel of a book celebrates creative outdoor entertaining in the high Mountain West.

Alpenglow is filled with creative parties and fun country activities throughout the four seasons. The stories and scenes are set in the high mountain valley of Jackson Hole, Wyoming--but the gatherings and parties could take place anywhere. Hillary Munro knows how to turn routine activities and yearly rituals into unique events, with delicious meals and take-home favors prepared with foods she grows and preserves and materials she forages in the woods. Celebratory menus follow special times, like a cowgirl trail ride, a pasture fiesta with friends, a comfy tent camp-out with a spouse, wood chopping with family, foraging in the woods for craft materials, an ice fishing expedition, peony picking, and more.
