What is Utah Treasure Hunts?

Utah Treasure Hunts started in 2020 when everyone was locked down in their homes. We wanted to do something fun that would give everyone a safe way to get outside with family and friends.

Because of the amazing response of the community, it has evolved into something more. We're not quite sure what that looks like because we're just trying to keep up. If we could have it our way though, we'd love to keep creating unique outdoor experiences that bring people together and create lasting memories.

Our Mission

The greatest treasure lies not in gold, but in the thrill of the hunt, the joy of discovery, and the friends ye make along the way. Now, off with ye! The world awaits.

We believe in creating experiences that:

  • Bring families and friends together outdoors
  • Challenge minds with creative puzzles and adventures
  • Showcase the incredible beauty of Utah's landscapes
  • Create lasting memories worth more than gold

A Few Things to Remember

1

The treasure hunt is free for anybody and everybody.

2

We pick each year's location with safety in mind. You follow a trail almost the entire way there. Once you step off the trail, it's not dangerous whatsoever. No rock climbing, mountain goating, or crazy hikes required.

3

Remember to take enough water and sunscreen with you. The summer is going to be hot so take care of yourselves. We love you guys and want everyone to stay safe and have fun.

4

Be on alert for wildlife. Past participants have spotted rattlesnakes, so stay aware of your surroundings.

5

This community has been amazing. But we want to remind everyone to treat the mountains and trails with the utmost respect and love. We are incredibly blessed to have some of the most beautiful mountains in Utah.

6

Outsmarting 100k people for longer than a few hours is tough. So the clues in the poem are subjective and purposely tricky. Be patient with us and with yourselves.
