Treasure hunt held in Bryce Canyon Country
Visitors are invited to search for tokens that are redeemable for prizes
By Brendan Gwynn
Adventurers who visit Bryce Canyon Country this spring may leave with more than just great memories. Visitors will have the chance to take home items such as an Apple Watch, a GoPro or a 55-inch smart TV by participating in a treasure hunt taking place in three Utah state parks. The treasure hunt is being held on three separate weekends — March 23–24, March 3031, and April 6–7 — resulting in a total of 24 prizes being given out.
“This treasure hunt is a great opportunity for adventurers to come explore our area of the state,” said Falyn Owens, executive director of Garfield County Office of Tourism. “Visitors will be able to experience the unique scenery of Bryce Canyon Country as well as have the chance to win great prizes. What better way to spend your spring break than by coupling exploration with family-friendly competition?”
During each weekend of the hunt, eight gold tokens — redeemable for prizes — will be distributed and hidden throughout Kodachrome Basin State Park, Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, and Anasazi State Park Museum. The associated prize will be identified once the token is turned in for redemption, which can be done at the visitor center of the state park where it was found.
Tokens must be redeemed by 4:30 p.m. on Saturday the weekend they were found or they will not be honored. Only one prize will be awarded per person over the span of the three weekends. A complete list of prizes and corresponding weekends can be found at brycecanyoncountry.com/treasurehunt.
The hunt begins Friday at 8 a.m. and ends Saturday at 4 p.m. of each event weekend and will take place regardless of weather conditions. Visitors are asked to use good judgment as they participate.
Tokens distributed for the treasure hunt will be hidden within trail boundaries to ensure the safety of wildlife and participants. Adventurers participating in the activity should pack plenty of food and water and also be aware that some trails in these parks may be moderately strenuous. Visitors will be required to submit an online waiver as part of registration.
Participation in the treasure hunt is free to all park visitors; however, visitors will need to pay admission to state parks.
