Highlights
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.

About St George
St George is a red-rock city in south-western Utah, near Zion National Park, with sandstone canyons, dinosaur tracks, a pioneer temple and mild winters.
St George sits in the south-west corner of Utah, where the Mojave Desert, the Colorado Plateau and the Great Basin meet, surrounded by red sandstone cliffs and black lava ridges. Settlers founded it in 1861 to grow cotton, which earned the area the nickname Utah's Dixie. The St George Temple, completed in 1877, is the oldest working temple of its church, and Brigham Young's winter home is preserved in town.
