Autorenporträt
Author Robert Loewendick has written Five-Star Trails: Columbus the only way he knows how to do it: as your personal guide. Because exploring the natural world is not a hobby with him, but a lifestyle, his intent with all of his writing is to excite, encourage, and escort every level of hiker on an entertaining adventure. Robert's quest in nature is diverse, whether he is hiking miles of tame trails or wild ones; paddling calm waters or running rapids; fly-fishing a mountain stream or cruising a Great Lake for angling adventures. His dedication to promoting the wonders of the outdoors extends to his wife and two children, who frequently accompany him and enrich his observations and insights. An active member of Outdoor Writers of Ohio and Outdoor Writers Association of America, Robert writes and photographs for myriad nationwide media. His diverse outdoor pursuits and travels continue to provide compelling stories and images that encourage others, of all ages, to "get out there," he says. Born and raised in Ohio, he still calls the Buckeye State his base camp.
