But first things first: how do you get there from the foggy city by the bay?

Buckle Up, Buttercup: Transportation Throwdown!
There are a few ways to conquer the distance between San Francisco and Moab, each with its own brand of crazy (in the best way possible, of course). Here's a rundown to help you choose your chariot:
Fly and Shuttle: This is your "need for speed" option. Zoom over the desert in a plane (think: under 7 hours!), then snag a comfy shuttle to Moab. Perfect if you're short on time or just really hate car troubles. Bonus: Maybe you'll spot some UFOs from the plane (hey, anything's possible in the desert!).
Road Trip Renegade: For the adventurous soul (and the one who loves a good singalong), there's nothing quite like a classic road trip. Warning: This could take upwards of 15 hours, so pack your snacks, your playlists, and your copilot (because nobody wants to navigate that long alone). Pro Tip: Take the scenic route through Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. You won't regret the epic views!
Bus Bonanza: This is the budget-friendly option for the patient traveler. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ever-changing scenery (just don't blame us if the scenery involves a whole lot of desert). Heads Up: This can take a full day, so be prepared to become best friends with your fellow passengers (or your good ol' fashioned book).
Remember: No matter which mode of transportation you choose, be sure to factor in rental car bliss once you reach Moab. Trust us, your adventuring spirit will thank you.
Conquering the Open Road: Road Trip Must-Do's
Alright, road trip warriors, listen up! Since you've chosen the most epic option (in our humble opinion), here are a few detours to consider:
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.

- Las Vegas: Need a break from the wide-open spaces? Hit the bright lights of Vegas for a night of glitz, glam, and maybe a lucky streak at the roulette table (just don't spend all your Moab money!).
- Zion National Park: Hike through towering red rock canyons and emerald pools. This park is a photographer's paradise.
How to: Pack your sense of adventure, a playlist of epic road trip anthems, and enough snacks to feed a small army.
