UTA TRAX is Salt Lake Valley’s light rail system. It has three main lines – the Red, Green and Blue Line. University Guest House is situated adjacent to the Fort Douglas stop on the Red Line, near the end of the route. To reach the Guest House from downtown, board the Red Line at Court House.  For a detailed map visit the UTA TRAX website.

After the Court House stop the University line (Red) continues to the Daybreak located in the south west of Salt Lake Valley.
