Thank you for visiting our website.
The Tri-State ATV Club is located in Hurricane, Utah where we have the privilege of riding in the beautiful Color Country of Southern Utah. You will see some gorgeous rock formations and colors, cool mountain forests, the pink sands of Sand Mountain and much more. There are also lots of petroglyphs, ruins, dinosaur tracks and many other historical sites. The history and scenery on the trails in the Southern Utah, Arizona Strip and Southeastern Nevada (Tri-State) area is simply amazing!

Visitors traveling through Hurricane might wonder why a town in southern Utah shares its name with a tropical cyclone – a type of storm that never has and never will make “landfall” in the inland desert. The curious name dates back to the early 1860s when a whirlwind blew off the top of a buggy carrying a group of surveyors led by a Mormon leader, Erastus Snow. “Well, that was a Hurricane,” exclaimed Snow. “We’ll name this Hurricane Hill.” The nearby fault, mesa, and, later on, the town, took the same moniker. How residents say the name might catch many off guard. Locals pronounce it “Her-ah-kun,” which is the British pronunciation. True to its name, the town has a reputation for being windy and slightly colder than nearby St. George.
