Geocaching

Geocaching is a modern treasure hunt – a new sport that is growing in popularity with people of all ages. Given the latitudinal and longitudinal co-ordinates, participants use their GPS (Global Positioning System) unit to locate the hidden “cache,” a small box with a logbook to record their visit.

Gros Morne National Park is pleased to offer you four official geocaches.

To participate, here's what you need to do:

• Join geocaching.com, the global GPS caching website. It's free. 
• Purchase your park pass.
• Find each cache location. Please stay on trails. Take a picture of yourself with your park permit at each location and include it with your log.

Geocaching in National Parks

National parks are special places, protected for Canadians today, tomorrow, and into the future. Parks Canada has special guidelines for geocaching at their sites. For example, no caches will be buried or off trail, and it is not permitted to place trade items of any kind in the boxes.
