Author releases day hiking guidebook to Bayfield County, Wis.

The second in a pair of new hiking guidebooks I’m releasing this holiday season is now available. Day Hiking Trails of Bayfield County describes more than a hundred trails in Bayfield County, which sits at the top of the Wisconsin Northwoods along Lake Superior. A popular tourist destination, Bayfield County is host to the annual American Birkebeiner, the largest cross-country ski race in North America, and to the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival. Trails in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the Chequamegon National Forest, and the Brule River State Forest can be found in the volume. The book marks the eighth title in the popular and bestselling “Hittin’ the Trail” hiking guide series. It is available for purchase online.

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.

After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
