As we begin 2026, we invite geocachers to bring their creative energy into the new year. Each hidden geocache creates an adventure and makes each finder an explorer.
Our goal is to inspire geocachers to hide and find caches that showcase creativity, innovation, and the sense of adventure that make geocaching special.
A new year is a natural moment to pause, reflect, and look ahead. In geocaching, that can mean setting a clear goal—or simply staying open to wherever the game leads next.
Some geocachers start the year with a plan, like completing a challenge, exploring new places, or focusing on a favorite cache type or difficulty. Others take a more flexible approach, fitting geocaching into everyday life and using it as a way to get outside and connect with their community.
We asked geocachers to share what they’ve set out to accomplish in 2026.
As 2025 winds down, it’s time to look ahead to a brand-new year of geocaching adventures. Whether you’re planning a big caching outing in January or eyeing your next milestone, now’s the perfect time to start mapping out your goals—and your calendar.
