Hurricane: A Washington County Gateway to Zion
Hurricane sits in Washington County in the southwestern corner of Utah, about 20 miles west of Zion National Park's main entrance. Mormon pioneers settled the area in 1896 after the construction of the Hurricane Canal, a 7.5-mile ditch blasted through sandstone that diverted water from the Virgin River onto the mesa. The name derives from an 1866 incident in which a buggy top was torn off by wind in what was then called Hurricane Hill, and the canal town inherited the name. Locally the city is pronounced "HUR-i-kin" rather than the standard "HER-i-kane."
Zion National Park, established in 1919, draws more than five million visitors annually and has made Hurricane a base camp for lodging and services overflow from the smaller town of Springdale at the park's entrance. The park's main feature is Zion Canyon, a narrow sandstone gorge cut by the Virgin River with walls reaching more than 2,000 feet in height. The Narrows and Angels Landing are among the most recognised hikes in the National Park System.
Sand Hollow State Park and Sand Hollow Reservoir sit just south of Hurricane, offering boating, fishing, and off-highway vehicle access to the Sand Mountain dunes. Sand Hollow Golf Course, opened in 2008, is consistently ranked among the top public courses in the American Southwest. Interstate 15 passes about five miles west of Hurricane, connecting it north to St. George and south to Las Vegas.
The climate of Hurricane is high desert, with summer highs frequently exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit and mild winters. The elevation of about 3,250 feet places it lower than most of Utah and closer in climate to the Mojave. Red sandstone bluffs surround the town on multiple sides, a geological feature continuous with Zion's formations.
