The Hurricane Cliffs of southwest Utah[1] and northwest Arizona are a red, limestone geographic feature, sets of cliffs along the western, eroded edge of the Kaibab Limestone; the cliffs are about 135-mi (217 km) long,[2][3] with the south end terminus just north of the Grand Canyon. The cliffs are associated with the Hurricane Fault.[4]
