Explore Grand Targhee’s trails while learning about the local flora and fauna with Agents of Discovery, a free, family-friendly, mobile learning game. All missions start near the Nature Center. Look for Agents of Discovery signs and for Clue Bear, Grand Targhee’s Field Agent. This month’s mission is on the Yogi and Pika Trails.
As you hike, keep the app open and get ready for it to buzz or chime, letting you know there’s a challenge to solve. Read your Agent Brief and then put your knowledge to the test. Learn about fossils and birds, trees, and bears. By the time you’ve completed your mission, you’ll be a master of the area.
When the mission is over, come to the Nature Center and collect your prize. If the naturalist is there, come say hi and check out the exhibits.
Hope to see you out there, your mission awaits!

Grand Targhee PIKA TO YOGI Trail Mission
- Start at the Nature Center to complete your first challenge. Find the PIKA trail by walking towards the Dreamcatcher chairlift and look for the Agent Clue Bear! This Mission follows the PIKA trail to junction 5, then you turn left onto the YOGI trail. The Mission is approximately 1.8 miles total.
- Start hiking! As you make your way up the trail you will encounter challenges that will inform you about the surrounding area, the flora, and the animals that call the area home.
- You will be tested on your knowledge with each challenge and have the ability to earn points as you go.
- Once you’ve completed the mission collect your prizes from the prize box at the Nature Center trail map!
Tips For Your Mission
- Make sure your device is fully charged – being a secret agent can use a lot of battery.
- Once the app and mission have been downloaded, you don’t need service or WIFI to play.
- Be aware of your surroundings – solve challenges in places that don’t put you or others in danger, and step off the trail to let others pass.
- Bring everything you would need for a regular hike, like water, food, sunscreen, and extra layers – mountain weather can be unpredictable.
