To help select America's most progressive, adventurous, and livable river towns, we turned to a trusted source: You. Over the past few months, 20,000 readers in 10 finalist towns selected with the help of American Rivers, the nation's leading freshwater nonprofit, engaged in a mostly friendly and always opinionated online competition to determine the cities that are most serious about recreation and environmental stewardship. Our surprise winner: Richmond, Virginia.
The above mosaic of downtown Richmond, the special cover of our 35th anniversary issue that went out to Outside subscribers, is made up of the thousands of photographs you submitted during the voting process. Zoom in on the image of Richmond to find your photos by double clicking or by using the tool in the upper left-hand corner of the window above.
