(Radio Iowa) – An Iowan has found a hidden treasure in Utah. Chelsea Gotta of Pella went to Utah three times before solving the riddles in a poem and finding the 25-thousand dollar prize. The annual Utah Scavenger Hunt was first held in 2020. This year’s clues led Gotta to find the treasure box near the mountain hiking trail in a Bountiful, Utah.

Bountiful is about 12 miles north of Salt Lake City. The box was hidden for 51 days before Gotta found it. Gotta told K-T-V-X in Salt Lake City she plans to sponsor a treasure hunt in Iowa.
