Hello everyone! On behalf of the Connecticut Trail Finder team, I have an announcement to make: there is a way to make the Connecticut Trail Finder Website an app on your phone! Though it is not an application you can download through the app store on your device, it is instead a way to bookmark the website to visually resemble an app on your home screen.

4. Click on the option “add to your home screen” and adjust the title/name to what you prefer
5. Click the “Add” button in the top right corner
