Have you been geocache hunting in Kansas before? Inside these little treasure boxes may be a logbook, items you can switch out for your own, or just a cool picture to photograph as a record that you’ve found it. It’s like an inside joke, and with a little help, you can start hunting for your own. These Kansas geocache spots are simply stunning and offer a view of Kansas along with the satisfaction of finding something that was hidden.

Make sure that you respect the rules of geocaching, and do not take them with you! These treasures are to be logged and put back, so that others may find them. Happy hunting!

Geocaching is a sport many people across the entire world participate in, hidden in plain sight. Using a GPS and sometimes a bit of mystery solving, hunters can find containers or markers of all sorts of shapes and sizes.

  1. GCZ230 - Goodland, KS

Drew Tarvin/Flickr Out near a familiar giant painting in Goodland, Kansas, you’ll find a small cache with a log you can sign to mark that you’ve found it. Keep your eyes peeled!

  1. GC1A2G5 - Goodland, KS

Debbie Geer/Google Out by Goodland, there’s a place called Mid-America Camp Inn, and if you follow the coordinates and hints, you’ll find your way to a treasure worth the hunt.

  1. GC57FC - Victoria, KS

Donald Sandquist/Flickr Welcome to the Cathedral of the Plains! This one’s a little different than most of the find-and-log types. This one is found when you’ve messaged the owner of the geocache a specific number, and then it gets added to your collection! It’s a great one to start with if you’re ever in the area.

  1. GC10N63 - Lebanon, KS

J. Stephen Conn/Flickr At the center of the lower 48 happens to be a little chapel and a couple of markers, but did you know there’s also a secret treasure? If you can find this little box, you’ll be able to mark your name down on more than the guestbook at the church.

  1. GCRDA1- Dodge City, KS

J. Stephen Conn/Flickr It’s well known that Dodge City is full of beautiful history. If you can find this hidden treasure in town, you’re sure to feel accomplished.

  1. GCTY31 - Hugoton, KS

Jimmy Emerson, DVM/Flickr Outside the Hugoton Airport, in the areas where you’re allowed to drive, a dirt road will lead you to this treasure. Enjoy the scenery of rural Kansas and maybe you’ll even see a plane land!

  1. GC31 - Arikaree Breaks (North of St. Francis, KS)

Jimmy Emerson, DVM/Flickr Some ways north of St Francis, KS, an area called Arikaree Breaks emerges. It’s one of Kansas’s most beautiful areas, and with a couple of clues, you’ll be able to find the box at a great lookout spot.

  1. GC30 - Colby, KS

Rays-Random/Google Known as Mingo, the oldest geocache in the world (with some debate), this geocache is not too hard to find, but is a bit out there. You can even spot it in this photo!

  1. GCPGXD - Wamego, KS

Visit Wamego | Facebook This one’s a little tricky. Following the directions, you’ll need a bit of tech to help you along. Can you complete this unique geocache though? Wamego sure is beautiful, but you’ll be a part of the beauty for this one. 10. GC4113 - Wichita, KS

Though we haven’t been telling you many of the locations so you can get it yourself, we wanted to warn you that this one does require a ladder to visit. If you have one tall enough to get here, it’s exhilarating to log it yourself! It’s definitely one of the hardest Kansas geocache spots on this list.

You can find these Kansas geocache spots and more at the official Geocaching website and participate in any state!
