Sinks Canyon


Wild Iris	Sinks Canyon	Baldwin Creek/ Suicide Point	Sweetwater Rocks	Wind River Mountains	Beyond Lander

Sinks Canyon is the local crag, more so than any other climbing area around. It is close to Lander (9 miles from the center of town); it is accessible by one of two short trails from the parking lot below; and it provides challenging climbs for every level of climber. Breathtaking views of the Wyoming plains to the east and the Wind River Mountains to the west are sure to encourage you to the top!

Sinks boasts year round climbing, enjoy sunny winter days and/or early mornings or evenings in the summer. The geography of Sinks provides a variety of climbing sandstone, limestone & granite options are available. The popular Sinks Canyon main wall is limestone sport climbing. Also check out Fairfield Hill and Fossil Hill for some alternate views and routes.
