This fun and interactive outing is great for seniors (who can hike for 3 miles). Join docents Sarah Schoen, Steve Brugler, and an REI Outdoor School instructor 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 senior (adult) geocacher. (Note: This activity has some off-trail hiking; long pants are recommended.) Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after March 28.

Meet at the Los Trancos Preserve parking lot on Page Mill Road (across from Monte Bello Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.

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