Geocaching Games and Activities

A relatively new sport called Geocachingawaits the entire family and all you need is a GPS and a few inexpensive trinkets to trade. This is the sport where you are the search engine. In geocaching you search for a geocache with a map and your GPS.

Utah Association of Geocachers-- UTAG has resources and sponsors events for the Utah Geocaching crowd.
