White fields of deep, powdery snow can’t stop geocachers from embarking on a high-tech treasure hunt. They simply adapt. Watch this Geocaching.com video to follow along as geocacher Greg McCaddon, Totemlake, leads a group of eight on a snowshoe geocaching adventure in the postcard-perfect mountains of Washington State.

Snowshoe geocaching

Geocachers say snowshoe caching is like preparing for any winter sport. It’s recommended you dress in layers, bring water, food, survival gear and (of course) your GPS receiver loaded with nearby caches.

Totemlake hosts a Hike of the Month for local geocachers. Watch the video to see the unique token that each participant receives and what goes into the cache on each Hike of the Month.

Awesome! I wish we had a group like that in North Central Minnesota. I love snow shoeing and have done a few snow shoe caches.

I love snowshoe caching too Not many for us to find in the Fraser Valley but I have been working on hiding a few for others. There are a few winter caches in the area and I hope that more people hide 4 season caches on trails that are used year round.

Snowshoeing is awesome I’ve been doing it lots this year with our local hiking club in Prince George, BC. I want to hide a Winter cache for snowshoers.

I love snowshoeing. I have several winter-friendly caches that are just off the trail that is perfect for snowshoeing. We were just snowshoeing on the trail a few weeks ago and went right by my caches. Anyone in Southwestern Ontario, check out Ipperwash Beach area for some great snowshoeing on the trail.

I’m not a hiker or a snowshoer . . but I have geocaching friends who enjoy both. That goes a long way toward explaining why Geocaching appeals to so many – young, not-so-young, athletic, and those who simply enjoy an outdoor stroll. There are geocaches out there for one and all . . terrain and difficulty levels have been assigned to each geocache by the owner and that allows us to “pick’n'choose” what works for us – on an individual basis. My buddy, TotemLake, explained it to me log ago when he said . . “we all play the game our own way . . just get out there and have fun!” I do!! Great video!!

I started the hike of the month only because I was going out there once a month anyway. If you’re already going out there, post it on your local forum. It took me about 6 months for folks to realize I was serious about the once a month hike and almost always to a different trail. Out of the last 7 years, I hiked solo four or five times on an HOTM. Now I have to go unannounced if I want to have some solo time. LOL

My 5 year old son and I have been out snowshoe geocaching here in Minnesota this year. It is our first year winter caching and we have found that those pesky 5 star terrain island caches are much easier to reach when the lakes have about 3-4 feet of ice on them! Snowshoeing is definitely a way for anyone to enjoy the scenery in this deep white stuff and I highly recommend it. My son loves guessing what animal tracks we have found are.

It was a blast and I felt honored to have and Reid’s group to come out and lug the camera gear in the snow on snowshoes no less, and film the first half of the hike. We had a lot of fun with you guys out there and I want to thank Love for making the nudge to make it happen.

Yesterday, jan/26, my friend BouLou and I have been out snowshoe geocaching near by Lac Matapédia, Amqui, Québec. We snowshoed 10km and found 12 winter caches.

Bravo. Hier j’étais avec LeCarcajou en raquette à Ste-Luce, mais nous n’avons pas fait de caches. La Margo

Thanks, Reid. I want to go!

Here in New Brunswick, Canada, snowshoeing for caches is a fact of winter. This is my very first winter of geocaching and I didn;t think I’d be out in the cold. Boy was I wrong. The winter brings a certain peace on the trails. Once you’re warmed up and rosy-cheeked you want to stay out all day. Plus the snow and ice make it a lot eaier to get through those typically swampy areas.
