Arrival by car

If you are in Los Angeles or flying into LAX, the drive to Joshua Tree is something to experience once in your lifetime. The drive is generally about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

The drive to Joshua tree from Los Angeles is beautiful. I am happy to help you with any questions about that. Everyone is coming from different places, so the routes would be different. Happy to help you personally on your journey if you take the car!

Season Information

The desert is both hot during the day and can be a touch cooler in the evening. Ensure you bring a sweater so you are comfortable for both the hot parts and the cool parts of the day.

What to Bring

Get ready and pack accordingly Packing tips on what to bring:

• BATHING SUIT (I always try for amenities like pool, hot tub, sauna...)

• Comfortable running shoes or hiking shoes for our walk/hike

• A sweater as the desert can be both hot and cool. Cool in the evenings and it is best to feel warm and comfortable and have options

• A hat, umbrella, long sleep light top is a good idea as the sun gets hot and best to protect your face & head especially with certain cancer medications, where sun should be limited or careful. I still enjoyed the sun when I was undergoig treatment, but I was mindful of my skin

• Suncreen is a great idea

• Journal so you can connect with yourself if inspired

• Water Bottle as it is important to stay hydrated, especially whe going through cancer treatments and post treatments as the cells need to be hydrated to heal and also to clear out toxins from all the meds and treatments

• Please don't forget any special medications that you may be on.
