Author releases day hiking guidebook to Sawyer County, Wis.

The first in a pair of new hiking guidebooks I’m releasing this holiday season is now available. Day Hiking Trails of Sawyer County describes more than a hundred trails in Sawyer County, which sits in the heart of the Wisconsin Northwoods. A popular tourist destination, Sawyer County is host to the annual American Birkebeiner, the largest cross-country ski race in North America. Trails in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, the Chequamegon National Forest, and the Flambeau River State Forest can be found in the volume. The book marks the seventh title in the popular and bestselling “Hittin’ the Trail” hiking guide series. It is available for purchase online.

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.
