New guidebook explores St. Croix Co. trails

My newest hiking guidebook, “Day Hiking Trails of St. Croix County,” was released today. The book describes more than 100 day hiking trails in or near the Wisconsin communities of Hudson, New Richmond, River Falls, Somerset, Baldwin, Woodville, Glenwood City and the surrounding area. Among the sights to see on the county’s hikes: a waterfall tumbling through a 20-story canyon; a premier trout stream running past picturesque fields and woodlands; and the Midwest’s largest earthen dam. “Day Hiking Trails of St. Croix County” is my 21st hiking guidebook. It’s 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.
