This large format book is more thana collection of beautiful photographs—although, it certainly is that—rather it is a moving, visualstory of an amazing 750-mile hike from one end of the Grand Canyon to the other.ÂPhotographer Pete McBride and fellow companion Kevin Fedarko did it the hard way: travelingoff-trail, searching out weaknesses in the canyon walls: thin, airy ledges, faint wildlife trails, andzigzagging through sweltering boulder fields. This is a real treat: an inspiring adventure andsuperb photography all rolled into one colorful and marvelous work of art.― Winner for the 2019Banff Mountain Book Competition Awards – Mountain image category:Â'The scale and quality of the images do justice to the stunning landscape. The devil is in thedetail - McBride finds it through his lens as well as his pen. He captures the textures of the canyon;he looks for the signs of changing seasons, he grows as he walks through its passages.' - NandiniPurandare, 2019 Book Competition Jury'After more than 100 days in this supreme wilderness,McBrideâ€s raw and profound experience has been compiled in The Grands Canyon: BetweenRiver and Rim, a gorgeous 236-page coffee-table tome…'— National Geographic “TheGrand Canyon needs to be saved by every generation. The Grand Canyon: Between River andRim… aims to capture not just the familiar grandeur but also some of the fragile idiosyncrasies ofthe between-lands, as an argument for leaving them alone.―  — The New Yorker“Namedone of 'The best photo books to gift this holiday season.

Much to his credit, McBride does not shy from 'non-traditional' motifsthat challenge viewer expectations: tangled fence-wire, South Rim light pollution, Havasupaiprotesters, or a composite of jetboats and choppers clogging the river section called 'Heli Alley.'ÂThe overall impression, however—reinforced by grit-and-dirt adventure photography—is that theGrand Canyon still offers much-needed relief and refuge, and not just to Homo sapiens.' — High
