Get Bit by the Travel Bug


Most people aren’t too excited to find bugs in hotels, but we have seven that are made just for them! Travel Bug Hotels are official Geocaches that are drop off and pick up points for trackables. Learn more about geocaching.

For our newest geocache adventure we invite you to check your travel bugs in for a stay at one of the seven participating parks. Each hotel is hand built by the rangers who work there, and is unique to the story of the park.

Visit one of the parks below, find their Travel Bug Hotel and go the Adventures page to log your visit. Once you’ve found and logged all seven hotels, we’ll send you a trackable travel coin. This adventure will run until supplies run out.
