Zone 1 is a climbing area in Colorado, about 12 miles from the town of Kannah. It sits alongside Zone 2 and Zone 3, which are each about 0.1 mile away, and Sunday Wall is also within a tenth of a mile. The Main Trail starts about 0.2 mile off, so the area works well for climbers who want to pair a route with a short walk. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 76°F, with July peaking near 88°F. That station sits about 800 feet lower than the climbing areas, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Other nearby options include the Rocky Pitch Loop hike about 2.3 miles away, Climber's Trail at about 3.7 miles, and Big Dominguez Creek for paddling at about 6.6 miles. Hay Press Camping Area is roughly 9.6 miles away.
