Colfax Chevron Travel Stop I-80
Fuel Station
This full-service truck stop sits right off I-80 at the Colfax exit, making it the final fuel and supply grab before you drop into the Tahoe National Forest road system or head toward Nevada City and the mining country dispersed areas. Clean restrooms, decent coffee, and a decent selection of snacks and basic camping supplies. The diesel pumps can handle big rigs, and there’s plenty of room to maneuver if you’re pulling a trailer.
Open 24/7, which is clutch if you’re getting a pre-dawn start on weekend adventures to avoid the I-80 traffic. The exit can get busy with Bay Area traffic on Friday evenings, so factor in a few extra minutes if you’re hitting it during peak times.
Last fuel before Sierra Nevada backcountry
