Go Geocaching

ani field boy

Geocaching is a high-tech version of LetterBoxing. You use a satellite-linked location finder called a GPS receiver to track down boxes filled with "treasures" of all kinds.

  • Visit rangerricktrails.com to learn more about geocaching and how to find caches near you.
  • Grab your GPS receiver and go hunting! Don't have one? Read this guide and find an affordable one.
  • If you're heading out on a warm summer's day, plan on taking along some water, snacks, a hat and sunscreen, and insect repellent.
  • Why not be kind to the Earth at the same time you're having fun? Bring some trash bags along and clean up litter as you go.
