With our handy bull’s-eye cache rating system, you can know exactly what you’re getting into before you go. Each cache gets rated on its size, ruggedness of terrain, difficulty to find and overall awesomeness. Together, these four elements make up a virtual bull’s-eye that allows you to determine if a cache is right for you with one quick glance. Select part of the target to the left to learn more about that particular rating.
