 <\/p>\n

Geocaching is more than a hunt.<\/strong> Geocaching is\u00a0that “first to find” smile… the secret beach you stumble upon… the mountain you never thought you’d climb… the unexpected sighting of a rare bird… a forgotten\u00a0piece\u00a0of history… a new friend you pick up along the way.\u00a0All of these geocaching “moments” can be captured through a camera lens (and beautifully, with a nice filter).<\/p>\n

Everyday, geocachers on Instagram share their visual geocaching experiences with the world through the hashtag #geocaching<\/em>. The official geocaching\u00a0Instagram<\/a> is our way of joining that conversation, sharing beautiful and\u00a0inspiring geocaching images.\u00a0Launching only 2.5 years ago, we’re thrilled to announce that the Geocaching Instagram has\u00a0reached 30,000 friends and is still growing! Our eyeballs have never been happier.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most stand-out\u00a0Instagram images from the last couple years.<\/p>\n
