Phillips Handcart Company
A tiny handcart is wandering around Utah. He loves red rocks, mountain trails, pioneer stories, and getting just a little bit lost. Kids and families can follow the adventure, learn along the way, and help bring Tiny Trekker home.
Tiny Trekker is not just a scavenger hunt. It is a simple story families can follow one little adventure at a time.
Tiny Trekker wanders off. Scout finds clues. Willow checks the map. Dusty helps solve the problem. Then kids become part of the story by helping bring Tiny home.
The curious leader. Tiny explores red rocks, canyons, Pine Valley, Gunlock, Kolob, and hidden desert trails. He always wants to see one more hill.
The planner and map keeper. Willow knows the way through Heber Valley, Midway, Kamas, Strawberry, mountain meadows, and quiet pioneer places.
The worker. Dusty is strong, practical, and helpful across Provo, Orem, Spanish Fork, Maple Canyon, and busy trek country.
The explorer and clue finder. Scout follows pioneer stories, animal tracks, old trails, museums, maps, and adventures wherever they lead.
Tiny, Willow, Dusty, and Scout each have their own place in the adventure. Here they are together as the full Tiny Trekker family.
Who is your favorite Tiny Trekker?
Kids are not just finding a toy. They are helping rescue a missing little handcart and sending him on to the next adventure.
Tiny Trekker was last seen exploring near Pine Valley.
Scout found tiny wheel tracks near the trail, but Tiny has not checked in. If you find him, follow the instructions on his tag and help bring him home.
Reward: Official Tiny Trekker Rescue Coin, sticker, or Trail Rescuer certificate.
Families discover Tiny, Willow, Dusty, or Scout during a posted adventure, event, or special community hide.
The finder follows the card or QR instructions so the character can be logged, celebrated, and sent back out.
Phillips Handcart Company sends the little handcart on the next mission for another family to find.
Tiny Trekker wondered how pioneers knew where to go before GPS. He learned that travelers often followed paths, landmarks, and wheel ruts left by those who came before them.
Could you walk one mile today?
Willow studied a map near Strawberry and remembered that good travelers always know where water is before they leave camp.
What would be the first thing you packed for a long journey?
Dusty says a good trekker learns to solve problems calmly. A loose bolt, a stuck wheel, or a missing rope can become part of the adventure.
What is one skill you want to learn?
Scout found animal tracks near the trail and followed them just far enough to learn something new, then came back before dark. Smart explorers notice clues.
What animals have you seen outside?
Weekend photo posts, simple clues, and outdoor challenges families can follow together.
A fun add-on for Utah history, pioneer units, school field days, and hands-on learning.
Pre-trek activities, rescue coins, pioneer story prompts, and easy ways to help youth connect before trek.
Tiny Trekker is just getting started. Watch for new clues, new stories, and new places where the little handcart may wander next.
