PARKS GEOCACHE ADVENTURE

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah State Parks Geocache Adventure continues with a new twist.

From now through September, certificates redeemable for gifts will be placed randomly in caches throughout the state park system. A limited-issue Utah State Parks 50th Anniversary coin and a Utah State Parks Boating Program coin will also be cached.

For those new to the sport, geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunt using a global positioning satellite (GPS) unit. Participants enter each state park's coordinates into a GPS unit in order to find the hidden cache. Participants may bring their own GPS or borrow a GPS unit from the park.

Inside each cache, a logbook and a selection of free small gifts will be found. Participants then sign the book and claim their prize.

For a list of participating parks and GPS coordinates, visit stateparks.utah.gov/geocaching.
