Joshua Tree does not have a direct airport, so travelers typically use nearby airports for access. Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), about an hour away, and Ontario International Airport (ONT), roughly 2 hours away, are the closest options. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is also a choice for those seeking more extensive flight options, although it's a bit farther from Joshua Tree, requiring a drive of approximately 130 to 150 miles, taking about 2.5 to 3 hours by car.
