Here are the top 3 questions I receive about eloping in Joshua Tree National Park.

How do I get an elopement permit for Joshua Tree National Park?

To elope inside the national park you’ll need a special use permit. The fee for this is $120. If you’re planning on having a photographer (which hopefully you are) they will also need a separate special use permit, which is $120. Honestly, $240 is nothing for the stunning views you get in this park. I recommend applying for this permit at least 30 days in advance.

Some of my favorite elopement locations include Cap Rock, Keys View, Hemmingway and Quail Valley.
