Earthcache

Explore San Antonio

An EarthCache is a special place you can visit to learn about a unique geoscience feature. These sites offer a firsthand look at how geological processes shape our planet, how we manage Earth’s resources, and how scientists study the Earth.

While you're attending GSA Connects 2025, take time to explore EarthCache sites in the San Antonio area. To find nearby locations, visit Geocaching and enter ZIP code 78205 (the Henry B. González Convention Center area). You can also search using the GC-code for specific sites.
