About PIERSON Hot Springs

Getting There
Reach Pierson Hot Springs by traveling on rough forest roads that may require a high-clearance vehicle. A moderate hike from the parking area leads you through dense forest terrain, ensuring the experience feels secluded and adventurous. Parking is limited, so arrive prepared for a brief trek.
What to Expect
The spring pools feel naturally warm and inviting, with mineral-rich water releasing gentle steam in cooler air. The atmosphere is tranquil, surrounded by towering pines and birdsong, with no modern facilities to interrupt the rustic vibe. Expect few visitors, allowing for peaceful solitude but be ready for a primitive setting with no amenities.
Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit during off-peak weekdays to avoid any weekend crowds. Pack plenty of water, sturdy footwear, and be prepared to carry out all your trash, as no services are available. There is no fee, but respect for the natural environment and quiet is essential when enjoying one of Idaho’s authentic swimming holes.
