Hidden Valley Picnic Area
The ceremony will take place within Joshua Tree National park, where it all started. To enter the park, there is a $30 admission fee & the National Park Service limits the number of vehicles into the park for weddings. We are allowed 8 vehicles, so please do carpool & plan accordingly! We strongly recommend parking at Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum & carpool with other guests. It is also a holiday weekend, which likely means the park will be busy. Please allow yourself extra time to not only enter the park, but to drive to the ceremony location. We recommend entering from the West Entrance, as it is a 20 minute drive to the Hidden Valley Picnic Area.
Keep an eye out for this sign on the right to enter the Hidden Valley Picnic area. Once you arrive, you can park anywhere in the lot.
Walk towards the restrooms where you will see a one way sign. Go down the one way side of the road until you reach the end.
When you hit the end of the road, follow the dirt path towards the big rocks shown below. Look for the painted rocks to guide your way!
