We do not recommend hot air balloons as method of travel…
For those that need to fly in, Bishop/Mammoth Regional Airport (BIH) is the closest airport served by commercial service, and is about a 30min drive to Cardinal. However, it is served by only one air carrier (United), and flights are on a seasonal basis. United has not released their schedule for October 2025 yet, so there is no telling whether they will have flights during this time. United did serve Bishop through the first week of October in 2024.
For this reason, we recommend choosing from several other airports in Southern California or Nevada. Please reference our list of airports below in order from closest to farthest.
