‘Hike’ author’s spotting wildlife article in Seattle Backpackers Mag

My article “Spotting Wildlife on a Trail” ran in today’s Seattle Backpackers Magazine. The article gives tips about when are the best times and the best places to see wildlife and includes two pictures from or near the Bjornson Education-Recreation Center in Dunn County, Wisconsin. The article is available online.

Find out about trail guidebooks available in the Hittin’ the Trail series.

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
