"Family oriented and friendly neighbors. It’s not too busy here but at the same time has all the things you mostly need."

"Hurricane is a small town about 25mi. north of St. George, UT. The town is known for it's outdoor lifestyle. People jog with their dogs 24/7, year round. There is a new dog park and several beautiful local parks, including one with a covered pavilion and splash pad. The city owns a beautiful pool facility and ball fields. The largest high school in the county is in the center of town (viewed as a mixed bag by residents, who's children go to school with those from 9 small towns in the area). There are fast food restaurants, a large theater, great community market, Walmart, a new family practice and instacare facility. We have most things that you would want and few of the things people move here to avoid. The biggest complaint about Hurricane is the 'good ole boy' mentality that pervades in the community. Still, with an estimated 40% of the town being former Californians, that has begun to change. Washington County sits on the Northern edge of the Mojave Desert. The North American Desert Tortoise Preserve is located next to the City Dog Park (at it's Northern edge and extends into Nevada). We get about 6" of snow a year, typically in 2 storms. The major industry is tourism, with many golf courses, bass lakes and Zion National Park in county limits. There are communities every 12 miles; which was 1 day's ride during the 1800's, when this desert area was settled. The biggest complaint about the county is it's disconnect from specialized medical care. There is a new hospital in St. George but it has few specialty clinics in it, other than a cardiac unit (which tells you who got to vote on that decision). If your child has diabetes, cancer , major psych needs or even a serious play accident then you have to travel to Las Vegas or Salt Lake City for quality medical care. "
