Trimble has received significant awards for his photography, his nonfiction, and his fiction - including The Sierra Club's Ansel Adams Award for photography and conservation; The High Desert Museum's Chiles Award for promoting "thoughtful management of the natural resources of the Intermountain West;" and a Frank Waters Southwest Writing Award for fiction. He is proud that his alma mater, Colorado College, honored his choice to remain a stubborn generalist by awarding him a Doctor of Humane Letters for his efforts to increase our understanding of Western landscapes and peoples.
As writer, editor, and photographer Trimble has published nineteen books. His bedrock focus is the land -western wildlands and natural history- including: Trimble makes his home in Salt Lake City and in the redrock country of Torrey, Utah, with his wife and two children. From his attic studio in the city, he looks out on the Great Basin and Wasatch Mountains, writes at his grandfather's desk, and manages his stock photography business. Salt Lake City author and photographer Steve Trimble traveled to Oklahoma City in April for the National Cowboy Museum's Western Heritage Awards. His book, Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography won the photography book award. It really was the "Cowboy Oscars," complete with jumbotron screens on either side of the stage! Steve and his publisher (David Jenney, from Northland Publishing) had 2 minutes to give their joint acceptance speech to a banquet hall filled with 1200 people dressed in "cowboy formal" attire. John Wayne's granddaughter and Red Steagall, the poet laureate (cowboy poet, needless to say) of Texas presented Steve with his 13-inch bronze "Wrangler". The Museum has given awards for nearly fifty years in film, television, music, and literature, but this is just the third year an award has been given to the outstanding photography book.
