Blaze - Paperback

At 59, Jeff Romenesko wasn't a seasoned hiker, but in 2023, he set out to complete the thousand-mile Ice Age Trail. What began as a solo adventure-part challenge, part healing-quickly became something more.

In Blaze, Jeff shares stories from the trail with humor, vivid detail, and heartfelt reflection, drawing readers into Wisconsin's diverse landscapes. He discovers the trail offers more than just miles-it provides connection. To the land, to fellow hikers, and most of all, to the enduring spirit of his late daughter, Katie.

With each step, answers emerge to questions sparked by his unrelenting curiosity-discoveries that linger long after the final mile. Though not intended as a pilgrimage, the trek becomes a personal journey of resilience, loss, and the invisible threads that guide us forward.

So lace up your boots-there's even a soundtrack to carry you along.
