Question

How do I get there?

Answer

Depending on where you're joining us from, there may be direct or 1 stop flights to Palm Springs available, which we'd recommend if you're looking for a straight shot here! Pioneertown is a 35-45 minute drive from Palm Springs. There may be more conveniently timed, direct, and cheaper flights flying directly into San Diego or Los Angeles. The Palm Springs/Pioneertown area is a 2-3 hour drive from San Diego and a 2-2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles. We recommend this approach if you're looking to spend some time in either city before or after our nuptials, or enjoy a scenic drive. **REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU FLY IN, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND RENTING A CAR** Ubers are widely available in Palm Springs, but once you ascend into the desert, options are fewer and further between.

Question

If you are opting to find an Airbnb, we recommend looking for one in the direct/walkable vicinity of Rimrock Ranch or Pioneertown (Pioneertown Motel, Red Dog Saloon, Sound Stage).
