The authors have debuted a film-Into the Canyon-in February of 2019 that explores their hike through the canyon Award-winning photographer Pete McBride, along with best-selling authors Kevin Fedarko and Hampton Sides, takes us on a gripping adventure story told through stunning, never-before-seen photography and powerful essays. By hiking the entire 750 miles of Grand Canyon National Park--from the Colorado River to the canyon rim--McBride captures the majesty of as well as calling us to protect America's open-aired cathedral. The 2019 Public Lands Alliance Partnership Book of the Year, this is the most spectacular collection of Grand Canyon imagery ever seen, showing beauty from vantages where no other photographers have ever stood.

Review "National Outdoor Book Award: Design and Artistic Merit. This large format book is more than a collection of beautiful photographs—although, it certainly is that—rather it is a moving, visual story of an amazing 750-mile hike from one end of the Grand Canyon to the other. Photographer Pete McBride and fellow companion Kevin Fedarko did it the hard way: traveling off-trail, searching out weaknesses in the canyon walls: thin, airy ledges, faint wildlife trails, and zigzagging through sweltering boulder fields.  This is a real treat: an inspiring adventure and superb photography all rolled into one colorful and marvelous work of art.”  Winner for the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition Awards – Mountain image category: "The scale and quality of the images do justice to the stunning landscape. The devil is in the detail - McBride finds it through his lens as well as his pen.

Freshly compiled work from some of the adventure world's best photographers.'" —  Outside Magazine "To put it simply, his new book  The Grand Canyon: Between River and Rim, is  the masterpiece of its genre." — Dr. Tom Myers, author of best selling book  Death in Grand Canyon    “Total Masterpiece.”  — Chris Burkard, photographer    “This beautiful coffee table book takes readers on a gorgeous visual journey while also posing critical questions about wilderness conservation."  — Ultimate Experiences Magazine    “A masterpiece in the name of conservation.”   — Renan Ozturk, National Geographic photographer   "The Grand Canyon by self-taught Colorado photographer and filmmaker Pete McBride sprang from his 2015 expedition with Kevin Fedarko (author of The Emerald Mile): The two men backpacked 750-plus, mostly trail-less miles from Lees Ferry to Grand Wash Cliffs. Much to his credit, McBride does not shy from 'non-tradi
