Abstract The Hurricane Fault is one of the longest and most active late Cenozoic normal faults in southwestern Utah and northwestern Arizona. This fault shows evidence of tectonic activity during the late Tertiary and Quaternary, neotectonism involving the Hurricane Fault as well as the Toroweap Fault imply encroaching Basin and Range extension onto the Colorado Plateau. Paleoseismology investigations suggest that the Hurricane Fault poses a seismic hazard to the southwestern Utah area. During the trip, we will examine evidence of late Pleistocene and earliest Holocene(?) surface-rupturing faulting along the Shivwits and Whitmore Canyon sections of the fault. The Hurricane Fault separates the Uinkaret and Shivwits plateaus and displacement along the fault produced the spectacular Hurricane Escarpment. We will see late Quaternary land-forms related to back-wasting and mass movement along the Hurricane Escarpment and look at evidence of the style and age estimates of late Pleistocene fan deposition.
