Lace up your hiking boots for this 5.5 mi hike and join us for a geocaching hunt in Mt Laguna. Starting at the Sunset Trail parking lot on S1, Sunset Highway. The goal of this hike is to find the oldest cache in California, GC5B. There looks to be about 25 geocaches on the route, most of them are PREMIUM Caches and only loggable by PREMIUM members. All are welcome though.**

A parking pass is needed for this event, its called an Adventure Pass and can be purchased in advance at Recreation.gov There appears to be a pay station about 500 ft from the trailhead but I’m not sure. Cost is $5.00.

Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game where participants use GPS-enabled devices to navigate to hidden containers called geocaches. This event is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who love exploring nature while engaging in a fun and challenging activity.

During this event, experienced geocachers, or just me, will guide participants on a hike along the trails, leading them to hidden caches. Whether you're new to geocaching or a seasoned pro, this is a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, enjoy the great outdoors, and hone your geocaching skills. Don't miss out on this experience that combines hiking and geocaching for a day of adventure and exploration!

If you don't already have it, download the Geocaching app and create an account so you are ready to go.

Geocaching.com is loaded with helpful information for newbies, including geocaching basics and a link to get the app. Note that creating a geocaching.com account and the basic app are both free, but you'll also see an optional fee-based PREMIUM membership that offers additional features.

Please be sure to have water and snacks.
