This tour was fantastic! Reuben, our guide, shared his extensive knowledge, making the experience truly engaging. Walking the trail, I could envision the early settlers who toiled without modern tools to establish Hurricane. The town wouldn't have thrived without water. I highly recommend this tour for both visitors and locals from Hurricane, St. George, Ivins, and nearby areas. It's a remarkable slice of history. I have immense admiration for the canal's builders and the dedicated canal riders who ensured a consistent water supply for years. The stunning views and captivating history, combined with Reuben’s entertaining and friendly demeanor, made it unforgettable.
