“Honestly this place came in clutch for us this morning. We were driving up to the mountains for a hike and got a low tire pressure alert. We were able to drive back into town and made it to this gas station to fill up, in hopes that we didn't have a flat tire. Notes - this gas station has air, water, ice, and propane. The air pressure system takes credit cards and coins.”
