Geocaching etiquette
Rules of the game:
Keep geocaching fun and safe by following these common sense rules and ethics of the sport. When placing or seeking geocaches make sure that you:
- Never remove or relocate a cache. Once you find the cache, claim your prize and leave the cache for others to find exactly where you found it.
- Tread lightly on the land - minimize impact on the environment. Caches were placed above the ground in relatively well-traveled areas. There should be no need to disturb natural features to find a cache.
- Do not endanger yourself or others.
- Observe all laws and rules of the park. If you have trouble locating a cache, ask the park ranger for hints and tips.
- Respect property rights.
- Be considerate of others. Avoid causing disruptions.
