Itinerary:

The leaves are off the trees, giving a clear view of the sky, and there is no snow on the ground yet. Perfect conditions for geocaching! We will try to find a few geocaches in Terwillegar Park, while simultaneously giving our dogs a workout.

We will attempt to locate "Off Cranberry Lane", "Small and Blue" and our own "EOC's First" cache, since it turns out we need some more info before we can post it on geocaching.com. For those not familiar with geocaching, please visit Geocaching.com for more information. It is a worldwide hobby where people hide boxes of trinkets and post their GPS coordinates for others to find. It's treasure hunting by GPS!

The hike includes some gravel trails, some uneven rooty/ rocky paths and some uphills and downhills. There will also be some bushwacking involved, so don't bring your best coat. This is an off leash park, but please bring bags to scoop up your animal's droppings.

Some people find it difficult to find the park. Please allow yourself enough time to find it and keep our phone numbers with you.

Required Items to Bring:
Weather-appropriate clothing (toques, gloves, etc.)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Dog
GPS unit
Dollar store items to exchange with those in the caches (generally items smaller than your hand)

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

The park is located at the very west end of Rabbit Hill road, off Terwillegar Drive. For those coming from Whitemud Drive, take the Terwillegar exit, turn right at Rabbit Hill Road and go all the way to the end. It will turn into a gravel hill. At the bottom of the hill will be the park's parking lot.
