Geocaching

What is Geocaching? 

Geocaching is a real-world treasure hunt happening right now, all around you.

There are millions of geocaches worldwide. Geocaches are found in parks, urban areas, forests, deserts, on top of mountains, underwater — pretty much anywhere you can imagine.

How do you Geocache? 

There are two ways you can geocache, with an app or a GPS.

The Geocaching® app

1. On your app, select a cache and navigate to it.
2. Once you’ve found the cache — sign the logbook.
3. Return the logbook and cache to their original location.
4. Share your experience and log your “find”.

GPS:

1. Search for nearby geocaches on Geocaching.com.
2. Download coordinates to your GPS device and navigate to a cache.
3. Once you’ve found the cache — sign the logbook.
4. Return the logbook and cache to their original location.
5. Share your experience and log your “find”.
