Last month, we asked readers to submit photos for a new special section, “Weekday Warrior,” which highlights outdoor-adventure activities you can do in your neighborhood and near home. Our second group of winners are highlighted below. (See here for the first winning photos from last month.) These amateur shooters will receive outerwear and other swag from Köppen, a new brand and sponsor of the “Weekday Warrior” section. Congrats to the winners! Be sure to go to our new channel to enter the contest and submit a “Weekday Warrior” photo of your own!
