Alpenglow Cultural

Experienced cultural resource consultants based in Colorado

What is Alpenglow? Well, technically, it's a term for the soft rosy light often seen on high mountain peaks at dusk. We like to think of ourselves as the human version of that phenomenon, providing our clients with that glow that comes from enjoying a job well done.

We aim to provide high-quality, attentive, and timely consulting to clients in the private and public sectors throughout the west, including Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, and Montana.

Class I, II, and III Cultural Resource Inventories

To fulfill regulatory requirements such as Section 106, or parallel state and/or local laws, your project will likely require a literature background search followed by a Class III physical inventory of the project area, and reporting. We provide all levels of National Register of Historic Places compliance. Additionally, during the planning stage an existing conditions assessment may be useful.
