A world on fire — and a few of the faces of those risking it all to protect others. I’ve recently been doing a story for @NatGeo about the record-breaking fires across the Western US and beyond (coming out soon). Here are a few images from the resilient @salt_lake1 crew - boots on the ground - that I met in recently in Colorado. They are now in Idaho on the frontlines of another inferno. Yesterday everyone was tragically reminded how wild Land firefighters risk everything as a firefighting helicopter - the second of the season - crashed in Utah. Air crew coordinate with ground crews to create to dual offensive. I’m grateful to all the heroic and selfless firefighters on the ground and in the sky - and their support teams - working “the line” all over - daily, weekly, monthly, yearly — for the rest of us. So saddened by the tragedies this fire season - now predicted to go all year. Images from the forthcoming story and older ones when a fire came to my town’s front door. #fire #firefighters #heroes 📷 #petemcbride #sonyalpha 08 Aug 2026 A few aerial views of Bears Ears National Monument in Utah and some of land it included before its recent cuts. This July, 91% of the monument (and a similar percentage of Escalante) were removed from national monument status. What is even more alarming to me, is Bears Ears was a collaborative effort with a commission of five native tribes (Hopi, Navajo, Zuni, Ute mountain Ute & Ute Uintah and Ouray) and the federal government to protect sacred sites and cultural and natural resources for future generations. Now, once again, those lands face an uncertain future in years of legal fights and the tribal commission was disbanded and their tribal names have been removed from any remaining monument signs. I continue to ponder how we can bring conservation concepts back into the Conservative Party, a place it once readily resided. Public opinion strongly supports the monuments at their original size, yet these public lands and more are quickly eroding to private interests. Chaco Canyon in New Mexico appears to be next on the list. To learn more: check out @npcapics For maps and more check out @grandcanyontrust #monuments #utah #nature #native 📷 #petemcbride 1. 2. 4. 6. San Juan River near Valley of the Gods 3. 5. The “Bears Ears Buttes” remain protected in the 10% but the land to the West and north do not. 26 Jul 2026 Thanks @davidmuirabc @abcnews @natgeo for letting me share one of my favorite American wonders and a few of it’s remarkable people like @carlettatilousi that not only care for it but help remind us how special it is and why we protect and celebrate such wonders on July 4th and beyond. 03 Jul 2026 It took Pete McBride more than a year to walk where almost no one has walked before, exploring one of the grandest natural features on the planet, the Grand Canyon. He encounters turquoise creeks, rattling snakes, rainbow-colored lizards, lightning-quick falcons, mice that howl, sheep that scale cliffs, weird wasps, funky fish, furry spiders, candy-colored rock layers, and rivers of stars overhead. “There is such a deep blanket of silence over the canyon that at times I felt I could hear my heart beating,” writes McBride. Pete’s new book, WILD SILENCE, takes us into these wild places through his photographs and stories. Scan the QR codes along the way to hear some of the sounds he encountered. #WildSilence #PeteMcBride #GrandCanyon #TraPublishing 08 Nov 2026 Timelapse of Lake Powell — Time rolls through a ghost forest and canyon, once wild, then drowned, now returning, near the Escalante Arm of Lake Powell, America’s second largest reservoir which is facing an unpredictable future with more demands on a dwindling Colorado River system. This fall, I was the guest editor of an Earth-based sci-fi magazine: Tractor Beam. We collaborated on the water issue and it’s out there, full of speculative fiction about as weird and far flung as the places I travel on this planet. But it got me thinking about time, and how the stories we tell can shift and flow with the reality we experience. For instance, once a hidden oasis, Lake Powell flooded Glen Canyon and became a sea in the desert, now nature is batting last and telling a new story. If you want to read more, check out Hell or High, Tractor Beam’s water issue! Longer stories are available on their website and substack. Tractor Beam is a speculative and science fiction publication dedicated to growing a culture of hope around futures on Earth. They tell stories that explore provocative, optimistic ideas around farming, food, soil, and beyond, reimagining how humans can live more harmoniously with nature. They call it soilpunk.

Nature, water, rivers, forests, roadless areas, wildlife and so much more are on the ballot and need your voice this year. These skating videos show how much has changed in just a few years with just one backyard water situation. I keep documenting this exponential change (and voting) in the hopes the next gen and my daughter will see some of the wild things I was lucky to witness. #vote #nature #conservation 📷 #petemcbride 26 Oct 2026 Last week, I had the privilege to share my work with schools at Shiprock High on the Navajo Nation Reservation — nearly 600 high schoolers. I talked about land, water, rivers, and many native leaders in the conservation world who have protected so much — often for public American benefit. We also created the sound of a rainstorm inside - helping the rains stay longer (slide 5). The vast beauty of their lands that cover over 27,000 square miles, larger than 10 U.S. states, is breathtaking. I got to even play pickle ball with Shiyazh Pete @shiyazhpete the first Navajo to play in the NFL. He is huge and moves like a cat and his heart equals his size. The generosity of spirt of kids and teachers I met, were just as impressive in size. I was deeply humbled to be called an “honorary Chieftain”. I also got to visit with my old friends @asdzaabiibetoney and more of Save the Confluence who just helped make the confluence inside the Grand Canyon a sacred, protected landscape. Thanks to all that made it happen, especially Andrew Weber, @changemakertalent and @vital.impacts #Navajo #native #land 📷 #Petemcbride 19 Oct 2026 A few frames from the Navajo Nation. I’m honored to be visiting here again to present my stories about land, water and the many native souls I’ve documented fighting to protect their homes and beyond. Thanks to locals here who invited me: I’ll be talking to the Shiprock (3rd image) High School tmrw afternoon. In the meantime, I’ll be marveling at the vastness of landscape here - which often rivals the humor and kindness of heart here. Thanks @vital.impacts @changemakertalent for seeing the value in student talks and the next gen. #happyindigenouspeoplesday #native #navajo 📷 #petemcbride 12 Oct 2026 What future does this photo make you think of? As part of our exploration of soil and water, guest editor Pete McBride (@pedromcbride) shared otherworldly images of real places on our planet. Our audience used those photos as inspiration for their own super short soilpunk stories envisioning the future on Earth. Pete describes this picture as “a beached boat on the flanks of a diminished Lake Mead, America’s largest reservoir, reminding us of wetter times not long ago.” Swipe to read what Kelli Fitzpatrick (@fitzauthor) thought of in response!! 🛶🌱 ➡️ And if you want to read more, check out Hell or High, Tractor Beam’s water issue!

Our public lands require every generation to use their voice to hand them ‘as they are’ to the next. I’m proud to be part of On Common Ground @on_common_ground_ , a six-part podcast exploring the history, meaning, and current threats facing the lands we all share. Listen to On Common Ground wherever you get your podcasts. What are you doing for National Public Lands Day? #OnCommonGround #ProtectPublicLands #KeepItPublic 🎥 #petemcbride 26 Sep 2026
