8

Read the guidelines

Every geocache must follow the Geocache hiding guidelines—please read them! Learn how far apart caches must be from each other, how to respect the environment, about regional policies, and more.

9

Take the hider quiz

It takes more than a clever hiding spot and a great container to hide a geocache. Test your knowledge of the guidelines you just read.

10

Pick a unique location and get accurate coordinates

A quality cache brings the community to an interesting location. Accurate coordinates are essential for finders and to ensure your spot is available.

11

Prepare a quality container

Ensure the container is waterproof, durable, and contains a new logbook. We recommend that the container be as large as your location allows.

12

Create your cache page and submit for review

Make sure you own or have permission for any photos or content you add. Place your container in its hiding spot, then submit your cache page for review.

13

Communicate with your reviewer

Once your cache has been submitted, a geocaching community volunteer reviewer checks the cache page for guideline concerns. They may ask clarifying questions about your cache in a “reviewer note” log.

14

Maintain your geocache

Once your cache is published, make sure your geocache remains a positive experience for other geocachers. Monitor logs and visit the cache location periodically. Be aware that unmaintained caches may be disabled or archived.
