The Wilderness Center Geocaching Club will be hosting its fourth
annual fall Geocaching event.
Come enjoy the fall colors and pick up a few or a lot of caches
while you are at it!
We will be placing caches along 5 of the 6 hiking trails and the
parking lot at the Wilderness Center,
so there will be lots of caches for you to find.
NOTE: Due to weather damage the Sigrist Woods Trail is closed
this year.
There will be caches of every size shape, color imaginable, as well
as varying degrees of difficulties.
Trail terrain ratings are typically between 1.5 and 3 (Some trails
may have a higher terrain rating due to
weather). We will again have caches hidden in and around the
parking lot. These caches will have a terrain rating from
1-1.5.
