NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LIVE Comes to Boulder Theater

National Geographic Live, National Geographic's touring speaker series, and Boulder Theater are proud to announce "Between River and Rim: Hiking the Grand Canyon" with writer Kevin Fedarko and photographer/filmmaker Pete McBride, who documented their journey across the length of the Grand Canyon by foot in 2016. The event will take place at 8:00 p.m., Monday, September 30th, 2019, at the Boulder Theater.

In September 2016, Fedarko and McBride's completion of a 650-mile thru-hike of the Grand Canyon was documented in National Geographic magazine.

Kevin Fedarko lives in northern New Mexico and works as a part-time river guide in Grand Canyon National Park. In addition to his travel narratives in Outside, where he worked as a senior editor, Fedarko's work has appeared in Esquire, National Geographic Adventure, and other publications, and has been anthologized in The Best American Travel Writing in 2004 and 2006. Fedarko was a staff writer at Time magazine from 1991 to 1997, where his work helped garner an Overseas Press Club Award for a story on the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. Fedarko earned a Masters of Philosophy in Russian history at Oxford in 1990.

Native Coloradan Pete McBride has spent almost two decades studying the world with his camera. A self-taught, award-winning photographer, filmmaker, and writer, he has traveled on assignment to over 60 countries for the publications of the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian, Outside, Men's Journal, Esquire, STERN, and many others. Raised on a Colorado cattle ranch, McBride is passionate about finding unique, gripping ways to communicate stories, whether it involves vantages from 20,000 feet or swimming below icebergs. His perspective on capturing water-related stories led American Photo magazine to list Pete as one of the top five water photographers in the nation.
