Baytown Parks Team Explores
Geocaching With Baytown Bert

The Baytown Parks, Recreation, and Tourism team recently learned the basics of geocaching from local Hall of Famer Baytown Bert during a hands-on visit to the Eddie V. Gray Wetlands Center.

Geocaching is a modern-day treasure hunt that uses GPS clues to locate small hidden containers tucked away in parks and public spaces, turning everyday outings into quiet adventures.

There are hundreds of caches waiting to be discovered across Baytown, with the Visit Baytown GeoTour offering a great starting point. The GeoTour features 31 beginner-friendly caches designed for explorers of all ages.

It’s a great time to start your own geocaching adventure while the kids are out of school. Click here for info
