PLEASE SEE FAQS FOR INFO ON MANDATORY BUS CARPOOLING TO THE CEREMONY SITE! Joshua Tree is located 150 miles/2.5 hours east of Los Angeles and 35 miles/45 minutes north of Palm Springs. The closest airport is Palms Springs International Airport. Other airports to consider are in San Bernardino, Ontario, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Joshua Tree is a semi-rural area with limited public transportation and ride-shares, so having a car is a must. We encourage carpooling. There are many options for boutique hotels, chain hotels, and short term rental houses in the area. We recommend staying in Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree or Twentynine Palms. We've shared some hotel recommendations below. Short term vacation rental options (Airbnb, VRBO) are also plentiful. Feel free to email us if you want feedback on lodging before you book!
