This weathered desert outpost serves the tiny town of Goodsprings with fuel, snacks, and surprisingly good sandwiches made to order. The attached general store stocks basic supplies and cold drinks — essential when you’re heading into the Mojave backcountry south toward the California border. Local ranchers and dirt bikers frequent the place, making it good for intel on area conditions.
Easy access right off Highway 161, about 30 miles southwest of Vegas. The town itself is worth a quick walk — old mining remnants and the Pioneer Saloon where Clark Gable waited during Carole Lombard’s plane crash recovery in 1942. Last reliable fuel before heading into remote BLM country.
