Perched at the end of Whitney Portal Road, this small mountain store serves climbers and overlanders with gasoline, propane, ice, basic groceries, and outdoor gear. The place has that authentic Sierra Nevada vibe — cramped aisles, friendly staff who know the mountains, and prices that reflect the remote location. Open seasonally with restrooms and a small café.
Road up is paved but steep with switchbacks. Store closes in winter when snow blocks the road, typically November through April. If you’re running Alabama Hills in shoulder seasons, call ahead to confirm they’re open.
