Pomo Canyon is a climbing area in Sonoma Coast State Park in California, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits within the state park's land, and the park's own trails and climbing spots make it a natural base for a day of hiking and rock. Late summer into early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 66°F with lows near 51°F and only about four wet days, while winter months bring highs in the mid-50s and roughly 11 wet days. Several trails start close by. Lower Old Barn Trail is about a mile away, and Willow Ridgetop and Full Monty Trail are each within about a mile and a half. For more climbing, Super Slab is about 4 miles off.
