Wisconsin native Steve Johnson is a self-propelled recreation junkie and fan of all things outdoors. He grew up roaming the northern lakes and forest regions of Minnesota and Wisconsin and spent his nascent college years exploring up high in the Colorado Rockies. An avid hiker and huge fan of road and mountain biking, Steve can usually be found on a hiking trail in the woods somewhere, or with his bike and a wide open road. With a spare hour or five, he is outdoors and in tune with nature's finest. A regular contributor to Backpacker and other regional magazines across the country, some of Steve’s other work includes Hiking Minnesota Waterfalls, Loop Hikes Colorado, Bicycling Wisconsin, Mountain Biking Minnesota, and spinoff sporting events projects. And don’t miss his first children’s book, The Big Bog. Steve lives and writes in southeastern Minnesota and far north Wisconsin.

In my limited hiking experience, I've determined that I prefer loop hikes and summit hikes. I'm not a fan of going back down the same way I came up (to the point of exploring ways down when I probably should just stick to the trail). Fortunately this book exists and provides loop hikes of various strenousness and locations. Although I've only tried a few of these, the information contained within would be very helpful for hikers of all levels.
