It's a winning combination! We are proud to announce that Geocaching.com and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy have formed an exciting new partnership.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a charitable nonprofit, fosters one great mission: protecting America's irreplaceable rail corridors by transforming them into multiuse trails. These rail-trails reconnect Americans with their neighbors, communities, nature and proud history. With more than 15,000 miles of rail-trail across the United States, geocachers are sure to find the perfect trail, whether in their backyard or the backcountry.
