EarthCaches are geocaches without a physical container. Instead, they guide you to natural wonders, geological phenomena, and scientific points of interest, requiring you to answer location-specific questions to log your find. Whether you’re visiting a place for the first time or looking to rediscover a familiar destination, EarthCaching can reveal locations you might never have considered.

How to Use EarthCaching to Plan Trips to New or Familiar Destinations

If you’re already planning a trip to a specific destination, EarthCaching can help you uncover hidden gems and deepen your understanding of the landscape. Here’s a simple workflow to integrate EarthCaches into your travel itinerary:

Step 2: Read the EarthCache Descriptions
