For over three decades, Guy Starbuck has been uncovering the hidden treasures of the southwestern United States, focusing on California and Nevada. His passion for backcountry exploration began in his teenage years when he first started exploring Joshua Tree, the Mojave Desert, and Death Valley. This led him to discover little-known historical mines and other remote locations rich in history and natural beauty. He shares many of these adventures and detailed hiking guides on his website at https://www.starbuck.org.
