Nature Center Boulders is a bouldering area within Sinks Canyon State Park in Wyoming, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among the park's climbing and hiking routes, with The Sinks to Rise Trail and the North Slope Trail both about 0.2 miles away. The boulders here are a cluster of six routes, all rated on the V scale from V0- to V5. The easiest is Ivy Growing in the Cracks at V0-, and the hardest is Slice Face at V5. Ivy League and Ivy League Direct are both V2, and Poison Ivy Traverse is V4+. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lander run to highs around 88°F in July, while September cools to about 75°F. That station sits roughly 900 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Other climbing is close by at Grade II Wall and The Sandstone, both within a mile. Sinks Canyon Campground is about 1.6 miles away for an overnight stay.
