One winner each week will receive a $100 prize item. Drawings take place every Tuesday from 5/19 through 9/29.
Entries are based on how many Legacy Trail caches each player finds — the more caches you find, the more entries you can earn!
Each time a player finds and registers a new cache, they are automatically entered into that cache’s $100 prize item drawing, held at the end of the event.
Players are entered into every cache drawing they unlock, increasing their chances to win.
As part of the experience, participants will also have the opportunity to vote and help donate over $25,000 to non-profit organizations in our community.
At the end of the Legacy Trail event, one winner will receive the $1,000 grand prize.
Entries are based on total caches found throughout the event — the more caches you discover, the more entries you earn and the better your chances of winning.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Legacy Trail Cache is a small rock-like container hidden outdoors. Each cache includes a QR code and a registration code to log your find online. We’ve also sprinkled in 50th Anniversary cache coins for the first 25 people to find each cache.
Participants use their phone (Google Maps or Apple Maps) or GPS-enabled devices to navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates to find a Legacy Trail cache. When they find the cache, they scan the QR code, register the cache as found and return the cache back to its original location.
Learn more about how to play here.
A virtual cache is a virtual way to “find” a Legacy Trail cache without a physical container. Instead of searching for a hidden object, you’ll answer a question or complete a quick activity using information found on our website to get the cache registration code.
Virtual caches are designed to be a more accessible way to participate, so everyone can enjoy the Legacy Trail!
Everyone (except for the GHC-SCW staff who know where the caches are hidden, of course!)
