Flight
-
If you want to explore Los Angeles before the wedding, we recommend flying in through LAX. Traffic around the airport can be heavy but going through security is typically fairly quick. There are also the Burbank (BUR) and Ontario (ONT) Airports in the Los Angeles area that are often easier to get in and out of and are both a bit closer to Joshua Tree and the venue than LAX, but sometimes can cost more. Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is also a great choice. It is about 1 hour from Joshua Tree and the venue. This is a good option if you want to bypass Los Angeles all-together or you just want a shorter travel time.
Travel Note
-
However you plan to arrive, please note the drive between Los Angeles to Joshua Tree can take between 2-3 hours depending on traffic. Definitely give yourself some buffer room for this drive.
House Or Rental
-
There are many fantastic AirBnbs in the greater Joshua Tree area to stay in! Just make sure you take into account how far away some might be from the venue as the greater Joshua Tree area is quite spread out. We do not recommend staying in Palm Springs due to the long travel distance.
Hotel
-
Americas Best Value Inn & Suites Yucca Valley We have a hotel block at the Americas Best Value Inn & Suites, a 20 minute drive from both the venue and the entrance to the National Park. We'll also have a shuttle that will pick up from the hotel and will go to and from the venue. (We'll have more info on the shuttle closer to the wedding) If you'd like to stay at the hotel please call (760) 418-5900 and let them know you'll be attending John Buckley & Savannah Merritt's wedding to book with them.
