INTRODUCING SOUTHERN UT AH  139

Getting Around
The best way to explore Southern Utah is by car: every SOUTHERN UTAH
road is a scenic route, and public transportation is
limited. One train passes through the region, an Amtrak
Superliner, which stops at Green River, 50 miles (80 km)
northwest of Moab. Greyhound buses travel to some of
the region’s larger towns. Two Interstate Highways, I-15
and I-70, pass close to Zion and Arches National Parks,
respectively. Smaller paved highways include Highway
191 via Moab, and the scenic Highway 12, which skirts
Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument. A high-
clearance 4WD vehicle is advisable for many of the
unpaved roads.
