Fairfield Hill Granite is a bouldering area in the Washakie Ranger District of Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among several other climbing and camping spots, with Sinks Canyon Campground and the Squaretop Boulder climbing area both about 0.2 miles away. The area has four bouldering routes, all rated between V1 and V3 on the V scale. Black Streak is the easiest at V1, and North Woods is the hardest at V3. Tree Lady and Wild Honey are both V2. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lander run to highs around 88°F in July, with lows near 55°F. That station sits about 1,400 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the granite run cooler. Winters are cold, with January highs around 33°F and lows near 10°F. Lower Brewer's Trail is a hike about 0.3 miles away, and the Middle Fork hike is about a mile off. Paddlers can reach the Middle Popo Agie River, roughly 2.7 miles away.
