Getting Around

Utah’s pristine beauty requires a car, motorcycle, or RV for access. In summer, winding mountain roads and long dry basins are either a boon (convertibles, motorcycles) or bane (some roads were not built with RVs in mind). In winter, high elevations and serious storms make a sturdy car the best option. Storms occasionally shut down highway passes and/or resort access.

The only places in Utah where you can get around without a car are Salt Lake City and Park City. You can enjoy two world-class ski resorts in Park City (grab a taxi or shuttle from the airport and ride the town’s public transportation), though it’s harder to get to resorts like Alta, Snowbasin, or Snowbird.
