The simplest route it US160 to US191. Using US163 for part of that gives access to Monument Valley, Mexican Hat, Goosenecks State Park.
UT261 climbs the switchbacks of Mokee Dugway, and also pass the start of the dirt Valley of the Gods drive.
Natural Bridges NM is accessible from 261 or 95 from 191.
East of 191 is Hovenweep NM
US89 to Page (with possible side trip on 89A to Marble Canyon crosisng) gives access to sights in south central Utah - north rim Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce and Capitol Reef. But those are all destinations in their own right, not just waysides on the long way around to Arches.
276 crosses Lake Powell on a ferry at Halls Crossing.
