This is a tour that has never been offered until now. Guided tours along the Hurricane Canal, to date, have only been a once-a-year offering. Participants on this tour see things most tourists pass over. People of all ages enjoy encountering the canal and its tunnels and flumes, which makes it not a typical hike. This tour is enlightening look at what it took to settle the land in the American West. These hardy settlers had to build irrigation systems in order to establish their communities and the Hurricane Canal was one of the toughest ones to build. It took 12 years to build and was mostly a pick-and-shovel operation with no public financing. It is an engineering marvel of its time and truly a miracle because as one looks at some sections of the canal, they seem to run uphill.

Just keep in mind that while it’s not overly challenging, some sections may require a bit of hiking up and down, so it’s good to ensure younger kids can handle it.

A: Definitely wear comfortable hiking shoes since some trails can be rocky and uneven. I’d recommend lightweight clothing, too, especially if you’re going in summer. A hat and sunscreen are also a must! And don’t forget a water bottle — you'll be grateful for it during the hike!

Thinking about gifting the Hurricane Canal tour — any thoughts?

I’m considering giving my dad the Hurricane Canal tour for his birthday! He loves history and the outdoors, so I think it’d be a perfect fit. I heard it’s a unique experience and not just another hike. Has anyone done this? How was it? Any tips for making it special?

Anyone know how long the tour lasts?

I’m planning a day trip to St. George and want to fit in the Hurricane Canal tour. Does anyone know how long it takes? I want to make sure I can plan other activities afterward.
