This month, while putting together a list of some of our favorite things to do in Utah in August, we kept in mind that school is getting ready to start and families are looking for some quick adventures! So this list is focused on exactly that… last minute family time!

Go Geochaching!
To wrap up summer, take your family on a treasure hunt and learn how to go Geocaching! The goal is to locate hidden containers and share your experience online. But remember the geocaching rule… anything you take has to be replaced! So remember to take your own goodies so that it becomes someone else’s treasure!
