There are 50 geocaches hidden within 16 state parks and state historic sites in the Saratoga/Capital District region, and geocachers finding them all will be eligible to enter their names in a drawing for valuable prizes. If you are interested in taking up the challenge, you can pick up a geocache passport at any of the participating parks and sites, or download the passport at www.nysparks.com.
This cache contains a unique stamp which must stay with the cache. Use this stamp to stamp your passport. This stamp is NOT a trade item.
This cache is in the Southern Trails zone of the park. Take a hint from the name of the cache. Do you know there is a lot more to Thacher Park than the spectacular views at the Overlook and the awe inspiring Indian Ladder Trail? This cache will lead you to one of our other popular trails; perhaps even more popular in the winter for cross country skiing. The area you will start from is named after the farming activity that took place in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s in this vicinity of what is now Thacher Park.
With the exception of the stamp, the items in the cache that relate to the park are souvenirs that do not need to be replaced with a trade item.
