Canyon Country

The nearest major airport is in Salt Lake City. Interstate highways 15 connecting Salt Lake and St. George and 70 (intersecting with I-15 on the west and leading into Colorado on the east flank the region on the west and north, respectively. Few highways actually lead into this region because of its rugged topography, and most of the ones that do e.g. US 191 and state roads 24, 95, 72 and 12 are reached from I-70 or from similarly minor highways on the east side. Access from the south is very limited owing to the impassable Grand Canyon just across the Arizona state line.
