A city for outdoor lovers in the Hurricane Valley
A small city in the Mojave Desert, Hurricane gives residents an outdoorsy Southern Utah lifestyle, with quick access to places like Zion National Park and the Virgin River. “People love the outdoor adventure. There’s the weather, the hiking trails and biking trails. Hurricane, compared to the other cities around St. George, is closer to Zion and still has that small-town feel,” says Realtor Natasha Isom, who works with Southern Utah Luxury Real Estate and has about 10 years of experience in the region. With a population of about 24,000, the city offers a classic Main Street USA experience, with a small downtown of locally owned businesses and community events like Peach Days, an agricultural tradition passed down since 1909.

Sand Hollow State Park, golf and hiking at Zion National Park
Located on the southern edge of Hurricane, Sand Hollow State Park is the community’s crown jewel for recreation, with red sandstone rocks surrounding the turquoise waters of the Sand Hollow Reservoir. “Specific to the winter season, bass fishing is incredible, especially when you hire a local guide, and there are underwater scuba courses. My favorite in the warmer months is paddleboarding, kayaking and wakeboarding, but the youth love to go cliff jumping off the north side,” Isom says. Quail Creek State Park on the north side is another spot for boating and swimming. Downtown, there's the Hurricane City Leisure & Recreation area with pickleball courts and a splash pad. Sand Hollow Golf Club offers a public 18-hole golf course with views of Zion National Park, plus a 9-hole links course. About 30 miles away, Zion is famous for its hiking trails, camping and slot canyons around the Virgin River.

They serve an all-American kind of menu,” says Realtor Ian Allen, who works with Realty Absolute and has about a decade of experience in the area. Also nearby is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which also brings newcomers to the city. “A lot of people within the Latter-day Saints faith who want to retire somewhere warmer look to Southern Utah,” Allen says.

The city’s biggest event of the year is Peach Days, an annual celebration in August of Hurricane’s farming heritage. “We grow peaches and are tied to agriculture.

The event also includes live performances, a car show and a parade. Sky Fest, a hot air balloon festival, is another annual tradition, held in Sand Hollow State Park. One of Hurricane’s newest attractions, Zion Utah Jellystone Park is a water park that opened in 2024.
