Minneapolis Star-Tribune runs article about our hiking guidebooks, adventures

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune ran an article this morning in its Outdoors section about my hiking guidebooks and the best day hikes to take children on in northwest Minnesota. There’s also two cool pictures of my son Kieran and me hiking the Fairy Falls Trail near Stillwater, Minn. The article, “Hot on the trail: Regional trail guidebook author collects his favorite hikes” and its sidebar, “Trail guide author recommends five great hikes,” starts on page O1 or can be read online. A special thanks to the Star-Tribune for the great article and coverage!

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.
