In December 2024, Backpacker.com magazine published an article titled, "Bob Wick Is the Greatest Outdoor Photographer You’ve Never Heard Of." You likely have seen his work on BLM.gov, in social media, in major newspapers and magazines, and on advocacy and industry websites. Today, we visit with the man himself: Bob Wick, whose primary job never was as a photographer. A photographer captures the majesty of the mountains along the Old Spanish National Historic Trail.
