Pat Morrow

Pat Morrow is an adventure photographer based in Invermere, B.C. His longtime collaboration with writer Jeremy Schmidt has ranged from coverage of canyoneering, backcountry skiing and mountain culture stories, to launching out with their wives on a seven-month overland journey around the Himalaya, resulting in the book Himalayan Passage. Their 10-year exploration of slot canyons in the American Southwest, alongside their close friend, the late geologist Art Twomey, culminated in the book Searching for Tao Canyon in 2018. Morrow was also the first to climb the highest peak on all seven continents (as documented in his book Beyond Everest), and received the Order of Canada for his photographic and exploratory work. He and his wife, Baiba, have won nine Canadian national magazine awards. They now concentrate on volunteer efforts for a local environmental organization called Wildsight.
