Bering Land Bridge National Preserve - Plan Your Visit

The Administrative Offices and Interpretive Center in Nome are open year round. Closed on all Federal Holidays. Open hours are from 8:00 - 4:30.

Getting There

Plane
The Preserve is vast and access is limited. There are no roads that lead directly into it, and summer access is usually by bush planes and small boats. Winter access is mostly by small planes on skis, by snowmachine, or by dog sleds.

Getting Around

Very often you are absolutely on your own in the Preserve, with few if any links to the outside world. Hiking can be difficult and strenuous, especially across tussock tundra. You must be prepared for varied and changing weather conditions. Use only durable tested equipment and be experienced in its use before you set out.
