The ZoZone is a sport climbing area in Sinks Canyon State Park in Wyoming, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits within the Sinks Canyon state park unit, and Killer Cave and the Sinks Canyon climbing area are both about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all sport, with nine routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.12a. The easiest are Doodles at 5.6 and Super-Dog! at 5.7, while Dutch Rudder is the hardest at 5.12a. The routes are named for their own style and grade, and the area is close enough to Sinks Canyon Campground, about 0.4 mile away, to make an easy base for a day of climbing. 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 1,600 feet lower than the canyon, so temperatures at the climbing area run cooler. Winter is cold, with January highs around 33°F and lows near 10°F. Nearby, Lower Brewer's Trail and the Popo Agie Nature Trail are both about half a mile away. Sinks Canyon Campground is 0.4 mile off, and Hugh Otte campground is about 1.1 mile away.
