Geocaching at Hunter Mountain Resort

800-HUNTER-MTN
Geocaching is a new twist on the old scavenger hunting where the "technology-meets-the-outdoors-types" will find adventure. Geocaching uses GPS technology to locate hidden "caches" that contain fun prizes and souvenirs. These caches can only be found utilizing GPS units that are available for rent or purchase (or bring your own). This is a fantastic group endeavor for those seeking an innovative team building activity. Successful geocaching requires teamwork, communication and problem solving skills.
