BIOS Pete McBride (Photographer & Filmmaker) Native Coloradan Pete McBride has spent two decades studying the world with a camera. A selfPhoto credit: Ashley Mosher taught photographer, filmmaker, writer, and public speaker, he has traveled on assignment to over 75 countries for the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian, Outside, Esquire, Google, The Nature Conservancy, and many more. After a decade documenting remote expeditions from Everest to Antarctica, McBride decided to focus his cameras closer to home on a subject closer to his heart—his backyard river, the Colorado. Four years and 1,500 river-miles later, McBride produced an acclaimed book, three award-winning documentaries, and co-hosted a PBS TV program. Other watersheds soon called, including a source-to-sea look at India’s sacred Ganges River. Upon completing the journey, the National Geographic Society named McBride a “Freshwater Hero.” His latest project replaced rafting with walking—a lot of it. Over the course of a year, McBride hiked the entire length of Grand Canyon National Park—over 750 miles without a trail. Moving on foot between river and rim “was a remarkable blister builder that taught humility” but its main purpose highlighted the development challenges facing this iconic landscape and poised to change it. After completing the journey, National Geographic named

him and his hiking companion, writer Kevin Fedarko, “Adventurers of the Year.” McBride has since released a Rizzoli book on the project and a feature-length documentary, Into the Grand Canyon, for National Geographic Channel. When not on assignment, you can find McBride exploring the Rocky Mountains, practicing mandolin on his back porch in Colorado…or dancing. Kevin Fedarko (Writer) Kevin Fedarko lives in Flagstaff, Arizona and has spent the past fifteen years writing about the Grand Canyon. In Photo credit: Kurt Markus addition to his travel narratives in Outside Magazine, where he worked as a senior editor, Fedarko’s writing has appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, National Geographic, and other publications. His first book, The Emerald Mile: The Epic Story of the Fastest Ride in History Through the Heart of the Grand Canyon, won the National Outdoor Book Award, the Reading the West Award, and was a New York Times bestseller. Fedarko and his hiking companion Pete McBride were named 2016 “Adventurers of the Year” by National Geographic after they completed their 750-mile hike of the Grand Canyon. Fedarko was a staff writer at Time Magazine from 1991 to 1997, where he worked primarily on the foreign affairs desk. He earned a Masters of Philosophy in Russian history at the University of Oxford in 1990. 5
