60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Madison

Kevin Revolinski’s love for the outdoors came from frequent childhood fishing trips and hikes with his father in the woods of northern Wisconsin. He is the author of more than a dozen books, including The Yogurt Man Cometh: Tales of an American Teacher in Turkey, Wisconsin’s Best Beer Guide: A Travel Companion (also Michigan and Minnesota versions), and Backroads and Byways of Wisconsin. He is coauthor of Best Tent Camping: Wisconsin. He has written for Rough Guides guidebooks, and his articles and photography have appeared in a variety of publications, including The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Wisconsin Trails, and the Miami Herald. He has lived abroad in several places, including Turkey, Italy, Guatemala, Panama, and Thailand, but he currently makes camp back in the homeland in Madison, Wisconsin.
