Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity that gained popularity in the early 2000s .
Participants use GPS technology to locate hidden containers, known as geocaches or caches, placed by other users in various locations.
In Alberta , a cache owner who wants to place a physical cache in a provincial park, provincial recreation area or natural area of wildland provincial park must obtain permission.
Alberta Parks said it stopped accepting new geocaching applications in Kananaskis in 2019 .
The first official geocache was hidden by Dave Ulmer , a computer consultant in Oregon .
He placed a plastic container in the woods near his home, filled it with trinkets, and posted the coordinates online.
As GPS technology improved and smartphones became widespread, geocaching evolved into a global activity.
Enthusiasts want clearer communication from Alberta Parks .
