Naturally Yours to Enjoy! The Enchanted Mountains is our brand for Cattaraugus County, in South-Western New York. Due to the abundance of places to enjoy outdoor activities and our small communities, we feel that no matter where you are from you will find a spot to love in the Enchanted Mountains. For the development of the Enchanted Mountains Brand, we talk about the sensory things, like visual identity - the EM logo, use of colors and the way we write in various ways. We want the Enchanted Mountains to be a trusted source for traveling in Western New York State. This is the dynamic foundation of the Enchanted Mountains brand.
