Minneapolis newspaper features ‘Hittin’ the Trail” title

Today’s Minneapolis Star-Tribune mentions my latest book, Hittin’ the Trail: Day Hiking the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, in its “Bedside Table” feature. Written by readers, the feature tells what titles Twin Cities book lovers are enjoying and why. If you’re a Strib subscriber, the article can be found on page E12; if not, it’s 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.
