Welcome to the Texas State Parks Geocache Challenge!
We invite you and your family to join us in discovering hidden items while revealing exciting facts and stories about Texas State Parks.
We have hidden special geocaches in many state parks, historic sites, and natural areas. By finding hidden treasure in your state parks, we hope you slow down, discover more corners of the parks, and take the time to relax along the way.
How to Participate in the Challenge
- Download a passport, available at TexasStateParks.org/Geocache
- Find challenge caches on geocaching.com and TexasStateParks.org/Geocache; challenge caches will include “TXGCC13” in their name.
- Please be sure to do your part and visit the park headquarters for the collection of your entry fees or swiping of your annual pass. Every Visitor Counts!
- Once you have physically found a cache at a park, locate the logbook inside. This book tells a unique story about each park and offers a trivia question related to that specific story. Write the answer to that trivia question on your passport.
- Use the special red orienteering punch in each cache to mark your passport.
- Submit your completed passport and contact information to the address below when you have completed each prize level. Every official state parks challenge cache will be counted towards your cumulative total and prize levels.
- There will be more than one official state parks challenge cache in many parks to help boost your numbers!
- More caches and special theme challenges may be added as the challenge progresses.
Cachers who have participated in previous challenges, please notice some changes in format to make the challenge more welcoming to cachers of all abilities and experience levels.
