Foraging the Rocky Mountains: Finding, Identifying, And Preparing Edible Wild Foods In The Rockies (Foraging Series)

After having this book for a while, it has been super useful. It has added an entire extra experience to my mountain walk. Instead of just looking at the plants, now I can better identify and understand them. The book is filled with high quality pictures and information that can help a new forager get into the hobby. It also includes useful information about look-a-likes that could be dangerous so you can be extra careful when preparing to eat the foraged food.

This was a gift for a friend's son who will be attending school in the Rockies this year. He is a forager and was super excited about getting this book. He had just been saying that he would be in a part of the country where he doesn't know the local flora so my timing was perfect. I can't speak to all of the content, myself, but he has perused it and says it has a ton of useful info. Will update if I hear more.

Informative, well organized.

Easy to use, and although a little bit big to take on my backpacking trips it's still a convenient size to make it fit if I really want to take it with me.So far we have used it to much success. And I really like the suggestions of meals to make with your foraged foods.

Exactly what I wanted!

Theres a lot of stuff out here that you can't eat. Theres a lot of stuff that sounds crazy. Great book.

Such a good foraging book! Tells you exactly what it is with detailed photos, and then tells you how to make it edible. Good buy!

Really cool adventures await after reading this book.
