This fun and interactive outing is great for families and children (who can hike for 3 to 4 miles). Join docent Bill Overall and REI Outdoor School instructor Chris Green to search for geocaches, or hidden treasures, using GPS units supplied by REI (or you can bring your own units). Bring small trinkets to trade for objects you’ll find in the caches. This activity is an introduction to geocaching and is geared toward the first-time geocacher. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after July 26.

Meet at the Picchetti Ranch Preserve parking lot. From the intersection of I-280 and Foothill Expressway, go 3.5 miles southwest (toward the mountains) on Foothill Boulevard/Stevens Canyon Road. Turn right on Montebello Road. The preserve is 0.5 miles up Montebello Rd. on the left.

Preregistration is required. Find out more at the MROSD page for this event.
