This year’s Challenge will take you on a series of walks around the park. This walk is around the Warming Hut Loop. From the Warming Hut it goes southwest along the Avenue of the Pines to Gideon Putnam Road, where it turns east and takes you past the Gideon Putnam Hotel and along the north side of the DEC Tree Nursery, then turns north along S. Broadway/Route 9 and back to the Warming Hut. Along the way you’ll find ten geocaches, including both Challenge and Bonus geocaches.
This cache is part of the 2024 New York State Saratoga/Capital District Regional Geocache Challenge! The stamp inside this cache is part of the game, and it is not a trade item – please do not take the stamp. There are 72 geocaches hidden within 18 state parks and historic sites in this park region, and geocachers finding 45 or more will be eligible to receive a 2024 NYS Parks Centenial commemorative and trackable geocoin. If you are interested in taking the challenge, you can pick up a geocache passport at any of the participating parks and sites or download it at www.nysparks.com.
