For any of those that enjoy the winter season, many will say this past winter was a great one. The cold temperatures and consistent snowfall made Chautauqua County a winter outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, coating the trails and ski slopes throughout much of the blustery season. Thanks to all of the wintery weather the area received, the trails throughout Chautauqua County were open for snowmobile, ski, snowshoe and foot traffic throughout much of the designated season. Furthermore, the conditions created a great opportunity for people to get out on the trails and enjoy some of the fascinating information about the areas in which the trails pass through. During the 2014-2015 season, RTPI’s “Nature at Your Fingertips” winter trails cell phone tour gained a lot of attention from snowmobilers and other outdoor recreationalists in the area. Development of this tour was made possible in part through support from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. Below you can find a full summary of this season’s cell phone tour project.
1 of 25 stops spread across Chautauqua County for this year’s “Nature at Your Fingertips” Cell Phone Tour.
Overall, this year’s tour was a great success and we couldn’t have completed it without the help of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, Snowmobile Clubs of Chautauqua County, the Snowmobile Federation and many others. We are already excited and looking forward to next winter, but are in no rush as we are ready for some the sunshine and warmth of summer!
