Gems of Rockbridge Geocaching Trail
The Gems of Rockbridge Geocaching
Trail has been developed as part of an Appalachian Regional
Commission (ARC) grant to enhance the gateway communities along the
469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway. The grant funds projects that promote
sustainable tourism and enhance the local community while
protecting the area's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
The Geocaching Trail consists of 10 strategically placed caches
highlighting the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Rockbridge
County. The first 200 geocachers who complete the trail will
receive a commemorative coin featuring the Gems of Rockbridge
Geocaching Trail on one side and the 75th Anniversary of the Blue
Ridge Parkway on the other side.
How it works: each of the ten caches along the trail contains a
question that can be answered from information available near the
cache location. Log all 10 caches and answer each of the 10
questions to complete the trail. The first 200 to complete the
trail will receive a limited-edition commemorative coin!
