    Outside

    It's a convenience store located behind a gas station. What makes this place interesting is the shape. It really looks like a dirt mountain. Before you reach this place, you are going to see a few real dirt mountains around the area. They did a really good job on making this look just like the other real dirt mountains in the area. The store has souvenirs, t-shirts, dry beef, oil for your car, and other gas station things. The attendant is pleasant and friendly. I think it's a good place to stop and take pictures.

    Over the years, I've bought gas at Hollow Mountain at least half a dozen times. It was always before sunrise when the store hadn't yet opened for the day. Fortunately, this last visit was in the early afternoon. After pumping my gas, I eagerly went into the store nestled into the rock of this mountain. It's all mountain on the outside and all convenience store on the inside. I got a few drinks and a La Michoacana paleta! (These are some of the best popsicles you can eat). If you're going to pump gas in Hanksville, are you really going to go one that isn't a mountain? No, of course you're not. Don't forget to buy a paleta, too.

    It's a gas station you want to go inside. Driving 121 miles from Blanding in US 95 Scenic Byway north bound, Hanksville is the first sign of civilization. This gas station was on my right and I really needed to use a restroom. From outside, I didn't know what to expect. At first glance, it didn't look much and I wasn't sure if they even had a restroom inside there. This whole store is nestled inside the mountain/huge rocks. Walking towards the back to use their restroom, you can tell that you are inside the rock mountain. Restroom was very clean with flushing water, they had 3 or 4 for women. Staff was very friendly. She greeted me as soon as I walked in with friendly smile. They have standard gas station stuff on sale. I ended up buying Pringle's chips. I carefully checked for expiration date but they were fine. I wasn't sure as how little people drive here, I wanted to check food they sell are not expired. Price was a bit higher than ones you see at any city gas station but considering how far away they are from large cities, I suppose they are reasonable. They have a few other gas stations in Hanksville but this one is the only one looking so unique. If you are in Hanksville, stop by and check out the inside the gas station!

    Filled up on diesel at a decent price ($2.57) but paid nearly $7 for a 2.5 gallon jug of water!! I guess this is the desert.... but still over priced! Water is more than diesel... idk if I should be mad... or just amused. Lol

    This is a really cool gas and groceries on your path to Lake Powell. It has been my spot for Ice cream, and snacks and gas of course. This store is built right into the rock and kids love it. Clean bathrooms and very helpful staff if you're lost.

    If you're looking to take a pit stop under a mountain... jackpot. Built into a sandstone cliff, Hollow Mountain is a unique stop-off on your way to your destination (since no one's destination is actually Hanksville). Restrooms: clean People: nice Coke Zero: negative Other stuff to buy: limited If you have your heart set on a specific snack look elsewhere. This place attracts because it's built inside a damn mountain, not because of the merchandise.

    Hollow Mountain in Hanksville is super unusual because it is built into the mountain! Yes, true to its name. They burrowed in and built a convenience store in here. The only other one I know of is outside of Moab and it is more of a touristy place with tours. Hollow Mountain in Hanksville serves up a great selection of local books on the region, t-shirts and gifts, and lots of cold drinks and fountain sodas as well as beer. There are snacks and sweets and smokes. You can fuel up outside at one of their many pumps. The best part about Hollow Mountain are the bathrooms: go there and you will see the rock of the mountain. It's when you truly realize you are inside a mountain. This is cool, my friends. Outside, you can climb up the mountain and get a nice view of the little town of Hanksville. There's a couple of old firetrucks near the hill and a mailbox that stands unusually high up in the sky. Worth your time to stop by when you're in Hanksville. Plus you will probably want to get gas in town anyway.

    This is a gas station with the usual store for snacks in a cave. Other than being in a cave, it's pretty standard.

    Austin's Chuckwagon Motel & General Store - Chocolate Croissant

    We stayed at Austin's Chuckwagon Motel for a night while exploring Capitol Reef in one of the…read moreretro-Queen rooms above the store. This is a room that isn't advertised in 3rd party sites and has to be booked on the property website only - it's something like 50% cheaper than the rooms in the hotel. The room comes with unlimited tea, coffee, and hot chocolate from the General Store/Cafe. We were a bit confused with how it worked since other customers have to pay for drinks, but the clerk assured us we could go whenever to get drinks (which we did multiple times!) While we checked in too late in the day to eat at the deli and left too early in the morning for Chuckwagon's famous lunch boxes, we did hit it up in the morning for breakfast pastries, which according to the cashier are all baked in house (and why we were attracted to them in the first place). We were having trouble deciding between the Kouign Amann and the Chocolate Croissant, eventually deciding on the former, but the cashier tossed us the latter for free! What great service! Chocolate Croissant (Complementary, normally $6) - This is a gorgeous looking croissant, golden brown with a drizzle of sweet chocolate on top, still soft and gooey thanks to being fresh from the oven. It's baked hard, so croissant shards fly everywhere while eating. I'd say it's baked a tad too long, so while extremely flaky, the interior isn't quite as chewy as I'd like. The lamination does look quite good from what I can tell after having some difficulty slicing through with a plastic knife. As is traditional, two chocolate batons are baked inside. (5/5) Kouign Amann w/ Cream ($6) - Again, this pastry has a really hard bake, so almost the entire thing shatters easily, except for the stellar caramelized sugar layer covering the bottom. It's hardened, sticky, and sweet with a great crunch factor. The interior is actually correct for a Kouign Amann, which is really surprising for a small-town bakery. It's not laminated nearly as much as the croissant, and instead seems to be a nice enriched brioche interior, albeit not particularly airy and soft in texture due to the bake. There's a really tangy and somewhat sweet cream cheese frosting that's piped into the center. I'd actually prefer the pastry without this extra flourish, but beggars can't be choosers! (5/5) Both pastries are more of a 4.5/5 due to the bake, but the ingredients and technique (other than bake) seem to be well thought out. We were not expecting much from these baked goods given that the Chuckwagon Deli isn't exactly a specialty bakery, but in the end we were extremely surprised by the quality. I'll definitely be revisiting if I'm ever in town again.

    The motel room was basic but clean which served our purpose as we drove through the national parks…read more The typical amenities were provided. Guests of the motel gets free coffee, tea, or hot chocolate from the general store which is open early til late, 10pm I believe. We ate at the deli for breakfast. I was looking forward to the quiche based on what I saw on the Yelp pictures but I guess the menu has changed. They only offer breakfast sandwiches now but it's made to order so we got to choose type of eggs and proteins. It did take a bit a time for them to make it so factor that in when planning your visit. The sandwiches were ~$12 each but were pretty filling so perfect for another day of hiking.
