The Great Desert Divide
Let's get down to brass tacks. Henderson to LA is roughly 270 miles. It's like driving from one end of a really long snake to the other. Or, to put it in more relatable terms, it's about the distance between a really good taco truck and a really bad one.

Driving the Desert: A Survival Guide
If you're planning on driving, buckle up and prepare for a desert adventure. Remember, the desert is a harsh mistress. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and snacks. And for the love of all that's holy, don't run out of gas. Trust me, calling AAA in the middle of nowhere is not fun.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Flying: The Bird's Eye View
If you're not a fan of road trips, there's always flying. It's faster, but it's also more expensive. Plus, you'll miss out on all the fun desert scenery. But hey, if you're in a hurry, who am I to judge?
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.

So, How Long Will It Take?
The drive time is usually around 4-5 hours. But remember, this can vary depending on traffic, construction, and whether or not you stop for a million photos of the desert.
