Native Coloradan Pete McBride has spent two decades studying the world with a camera. A self-taught photographer, filmmaker, writer, and public speaker, he has traveled to 75 countries for the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian, Google, The Nature Conservancy, and more. He has also spoken on stages for TEDx, The World Economic Forum, USAID, Nat Geo Live, and many others. After a decade documenting remote expeditions from Everest to Antarctica, McBride decided to focus his camera closer to home on a subject near to his heart—his backyard river, the Colorado. Four years and 1500 river-miles later, McBride produced an acclaimed book, three award-winning documentaries, and co-hosted a PBS TV program. Next, over the course of a year, McBride hiked the entire length of Grand Canyon National Park — over 750 miles without a trail — to highlight development challenges facing this iconic landscape. After completing the journey, McBride released a book, “Grand Canyon; Between River and Rim,” that won a National Outdoor Book Award. He accompanied the book with a feature-length documentary, "Into the Grand Canyon", that you can watch on Disney+, which won Best Feature at the Banff Mountain Film Festival, among others. His latest project is about the value of silence.
