The access road leading to Pilgrim Hot Springs is still under snow. We expect to open up to the public by mid- June. There will be heavy equipment on or near the property from approximately June 6-June 12 working on site improvement projects. Unaatuq will inform the public as soon as the gate is unlocked and opened to visitors.

This summer, Unaatuq will charge an entrance fee* of $10 per person, per visit. Locals of the Bering Strait Region (with a Tribal ID or driver’s license) will get a discounted rate of $5 per person. Kids 5 and under may enter free. All guests will need to sign a visitor permit upon entry, or pay in advance and agree to the terms and conditions. *Visitors to the cemetery only, paying overnight guests, or helicopter charters will not need to pay an entrance fee. Entrance fees will help Unaatuq to pay our staff, expand agriculture efforts, and continue to improve site safety and access for the public.

Fees may be paid in advance of your visit on our website: https://www.pilgrimhotsprings.com/permits Or, you may pay in cash upon arrival to Pilgrim Hot Springs with the onsite caretaker.

This summer, a limited number of campsites and cabin rentals will be available for overnight guests. Camping fees and lodging rates, as well as booking information, can be found on our website: https://www.pilgrimhotsprings.com/cabins–tents

The site may not be accessed by boat from the river unless obtaining both a permit from Unaatuq as well as from Mary’s Igloo Native Corporation. Please contact the MINC office at 907-642-2308 or

As a reminder to all guests, please follow recommended CDC guidelines regarding COVID-19 and respect the distance of other visitors. We are a dog friendly property, however please have your dog on a leash at all times when onsite. Dog tie-out poles are provided near the main bathing pole for your convenience.
