Hiking author’s newest guidebook released

My 22nd book – Day Hiking Trails of Douglas County – went on sale Monday.

The guidebook describes more than a hundred in and around Wisconsin’s northwestern most county. Among the great trails featured:
• Miles of shoreline along the world’s largest freshwater lake
• A 16-story waterfall that is fourth highest east of the Rockies
• Paths that retrace the steps of ancient portages
• Routes beside a scenic river popular with American presidents
• Hikes through woods full of rare, delicious berries

Most of the trails are clustered around Superior, Poplar/Brule and Solon Springs/Gordon. The book is available in paperback and on Kindle ebook.

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.
