Red Rock Geocache Outfitters — Geocaching Supplies and Guided Adventures in St. George, Utah

Red Rock Geocache Outfitters is Southern Utah's dedicated geocaching retail and adventure destination, located in St. George and serving the growing community of treasure hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and families who have discovered the joy of geocaching amid the stunning red rock landscapes of Washington County. Geocaching — the worldwide GPS-based treasure hunting game that sends participants to hidden containers using coordinate clues — has found a natural home in Southern Utah, where the dramatic terrain, extensive trail systems, and year-round outdoor weather create ideal conditions for cache placement and discovery. Red Rock Geocache Outfitters exists to equip, educate, and guide geocachers of all experience levels, from first-time families looking for a new outdoor activity to veteran cachers pursuing challenging hides in remote desert locations.

Equipment Sales and GPS Rentals

The shop carries a comprehensive selection of geocaching equipment, from entry-level GPS units suitable for casual caching to professional-grade devices with advanced mapping capabilities for serious enthusiasts. For visitors and casual participants who prefer not to purchase their own equipment, the rental program provides well-maintained GPS units preloaded with coordinates for dozens of local caches, organized by difficulty, terrain, and proximity to popular trailheads and attractions. The rental packages include a brief orientation session that covers GPS operation, geocaching etiquette, cache logging procedures, and the Leave No Trace principles that ensure geocaching remains compatible with the desert ecosystem's conservation needs. Beyond GPS units, the inventory includes geocaching-specific supplies such as cache containers in various sizes, waterproof log sheets, trade items, trackable tags, and the swag that geocachers leave in caches for future finders to discover and exchange.

Guided Geocache Adventures

Red Rock Geocache Outfitters offers guided geocaching adventures that combine the thrill of treasure hunting with expert knowledge of Southern Utah's trails, geology, and natural history. Family adventure tours are designed for groups with children, featuring moderate terrain, age-appropriate distances, and caches that include engaging trade items and the sense of discovery that makes geocaching irresistible for young participants. Advanced guided hunts challenge experienced cachers with difficult terrain ratings, multi-cache puzzles that require solving clues at multiple locations to determine the final coordinates, and night caching experiences that add an entirely different dimension to the hunt. Themed tours connect geocaching with other aspects of the Southern Utah experience — geology caches that teach about the region's formation, history caches placed at sites of pioneer and Native American significance, and wildlife caches positioned near habitats where participants may observe desert fauna during their search.

Seasonal events — spring kickoff hunts, summer night caching series, fall color cache tours, and holiday-themed treasure hunts — keep the calendar engaging and give participants reasons to return throughout the year. Red Rock Geocache Outfitters also maintains a network of shop-sponsored caches throughout Washington County, ensuring these hides remain in good condition with dry log books, intact containers, and quality trade items that represent the geocaching community positively. This cache maintenance service extends to other cache owners who subscribe to the shop's stewardship program, helping maintain the quality of the overall geocaching experience in the region.

Tourist and Team Building Programs

Recognizing that geocaching provides an exceptional framework for exploring an unfamiliar area, Red Rock Geocache Outfitters has developed visitor-oriented programs that use geocaching as a vehicle for discovering St. George, Zion National Park approaches, Snow Canyon State Park, and other regional attractions. Tourist geocache routes guide visitors to scenic viewpoints, hidden waterfalls, historical markers, and local businesses they might otherwise miss, transforming sightseeing into an interactive adventure. Corporate team building programs use custom-designed geocache courses to develop communication, navigation, and problem-solving skills while getting teams outdoors and active in a collaborative challenge that breaks down workplace hierarchies and builds genuine camaraderie.
