ColdCaching the Ice Age National Scenic Trail
Did you know that the Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a thousand-mile footpath that highlights the glacial landscape left behind 12,000 years ago. The Trail is entirely within Wisconsin and is one of only eleven National Scenic Trails.
Definitions: An EarthCache is a GeoCache that is a geological treasure. A ColdCache is an EarthCache along the Ice Age Trail.
This event will be a presentation about the special ColdCache (EarthCache) program you and your family can use to discover these special hidden glacial features across the Ice Age Trail landscape. Learn about EarthCaches, how you can find and log them plus the resources available to you to make your hiking adventure on the Ice Age Trail an educational one as well. Learn about the patches you can earn for finding ColdCache EarthCaches (see image below). Learn how you can get involved in “hiding” an EarthCache along the Trail.
