This Shell station anchors the small town of Cuba, offering diesel, unleaded, propane, and basic supplies for overlanders tackling the remote northern New Mexico trails. Clean restrooms, hot food, ice, and automotive fluids make this a solid resupply point. The attached convenience store stocks camping basics, jerky, and regional snacks. Diesel pumps accommodate big rigs and truck campers without issue.
Cuba sits at the junction of Highways 126 and 550, making this your last reliable fuel before heading into the Chama River Canyon Wilderness or Rio Puerco Valley routes. Staff knows the area well and can point you toward current road conditions on Forest Service roads.
Last fuel before northern wilderness routes
