Visit Centre County GeoTour

Find Your Next Adventure!
 

Thank you for joining us for the “Visit Centre County” GeoTour. Enjoy some of our favorite caching locations to include local and state parks, beautiful vistas, and historical points of interest! A team of GeoTour planners have worked very hard to put together various cache types to keep the GeoTour interesting and challenging; however, no geocache should be beyond a 3/3.5 for terrain or difficulty, with maybe one or two exceptions!

We are pleased to show you around our County and hope that you will enjoy the GeoTour and complete your passport to collect your custom GeoTour Geocoin (minimum number of caches required to receive coin)! The participating caches are listed on www.geocaching.com under Geocaching/Play/GeoTours, and the passports are available for in-person pick-up or via download! Take as much time as you need to complete the tour; there are several caches included in the county-wide tour!

Please Note: The GeoTour is being administered by the Happy Valley Adventure Bureau and more information will be available soon!  

We also offer a Junior Geocacher Passport for children, 12 yrs. and under, with a special prize for their hard work too!  

To get started, grab your GPS, download or pick-up your Passport, and start searching!  PLEASE NOTE:  Only one passport per individual or group (couple, family, friends). To qualify for the "Visit Centre County" GeoTour geocoin, you'll need to find 45 of the 58 caches and their respective codewords! Registration is not needed for this event. You can download your passport or pick it up in person at Happy Valley Adventure Bureau, 204 West Beaver Avenue, State College, PA 16801.

When you've finished finding all the caches you desire, you'll turn in your passport at The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau's Visitors Center, at 204 West Beaver Avenue, State College, PA.  There is a 15 minute loading/unloading zone in front of their entrance.  

Happy Valley Adventure Bureau is overseeing the GeoTour and Centre Region Parks and Recreation is a partner of this program.
