For our friends and family California, we recommend driving if you're up for a road trip. It's an easy 6 hour drive and you won't have to deal with Ubers or rental cars. There is a gas station and Wendy's in Quartzite, AZ we recommend for a halfway point stop.

For our friends and family from Michigan and Massachusetts, we recommend this small but reliable airline for the cheapest fare and direct to PHX/Mesa (Smaller airport!) flights.
