Hurricane
147 North 870 West Hurricane, Utah 84737
(435) 635-2811
Hurricane occupies a unique position in the physiographic regions of the west. It sits at a geologic division line between the Colorado Plateau to the east and the Great Basin to the west. Many of the landforms you see as you travel along SR-9 through Hurricane are evidence of this fact.
To the east you can see the horizontal formations of the Grand Canyon suite that form the classic mesas and canyons of the west, including Zion National Park. These formations have been uplifted by the Hurricane Fault which forms the steep cliffs just east of the downtown area.
To the west is Pine Valley Mountain, a 6500' granite laccolith that pushed its way through the overlying formations. Pine Valley Mountain represents the eastern edge of the Great Basin and Range provence in this area. Pine Valley Mountain is part of the Dixie National Forest.

Ivins City
55 N Main Ivins, UT 84738
(435) 628-0606
Nestled at the base of the majestic cliffs of towering vermilion sandstone lies the community of Ivins. Nowhere in the United States can so many reasons be found to relax and enjoy life as you will find here. Located in Southwestern Utah, next to the City of St. George and away from the busy I-15 corridor, you can still wander and hear the whispering solitude of the delicate desert. Here is the place for the rest of your life — figuratively and literally. Standing in one spot an unparalleled panorama unfolds: fifteen hundred foot red sandstone cliffs with white sandstone formations above, dark black lava flows, blue gray mountains, pink peaks of Zion National Park, gray green sage covered hills, brilliant desert flowers, peregrine falcons in flight, eagles soaring, coveys of quails, the scamper of cottontails, chirping crickets, buzzing bees. Depending on the season, nature treats you to a bath of sun or rare and gentle snow, an evening breeze or a stiff wind moving in a thunder storm with billowing clouds and a dashing display of lightening, maybe soothing rains or a desert thundershower with cascading waterfalls. All these are here in one place without turning except to see another spectacular display of nature’s wonders.
