Stillwater (Minn.) Gazette runs article on St. Croix riverway guidebook

The Stillwater (Minn.) Gazette featured my latest book, Hittin’ the Trail: Day Hiking the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway in its Thursday (April 10) edition. The article includes a nice Q&A with yours truly. Day Hiking the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway features more than 70 Minnesota and Wisconsin trails along the St. Croix and Namekagon rivers. The National Park Service unit runs more than 250 miles from Prescott, Wis., north to near Solon Springs, Wis., and east from the Danbury, Wis., area to near Cable, Wis. 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.
