Hollow Mountain
The gas station on the corner when you come into town is hard to miss since the store is inside the rock formation. It took 100 cases of dynamite to hollow out the space for the convenience store, and Hollow Mountain opened on Memorial Day weekend of 1984 and has been a tourist attraction ever since. They have all the normal snacks and drinks, plus a good selection of books on local subjects and destinations.
