Have heard about this place, but completely forgot about it until we pulled in for fuel. What a great little stop between Capital Reef and Arches/Canyonlands. Not a destination in itself, but a must visit if you happen by. read more

Hollow Mountain - Be sure to visit the very clean restrooms! - Gas Stations Near Me - Hanksville, Utah

Totally unique. Nice selection of necessities and snacks. Friendly and helpful people. One of the ladies at the counter told us her husband was a miner and worked on blasting the mountain. I have read that it took over 100 cases of dynamite (about 2.5 tons) to hollow out the mountain. The store opened it's doors on Memorial Day weekend of 1984. read more

Clean and safe restroom and gas station, the gentleman at the front was kind, decent selection of snacks and very cool interior. Worth stopping when in the area! read more

It's a convenience store located behind a gas station. What makes this place interesting is the shape. It really looks like a dirt mountain. Before you reach this place, you are going to see a few real dirt mountains around the area. They did a really good job on making this look just like the other real dirt mountains in the area. The store has souvenirs, t-shirts, dry beef, oil for your car, and other gas station things. The attendant is pleasant and friendly. I think it's a good place to stop and take pictures. read more

Hollow Mountain - Outside - Gas Stations Near Me - Hanksville, Utah

Love the owner and the service she offers! They have a few supplies which are resupplied weekly!

Over the years, I've bought gas at Hollow Mountain at least half a dozen times. It was always before sunrise when the store hadn't yet opened for the day. Fortunately, this last visit was in the early afternoon. After pumping my gas, I eagerly went into the store nestled into the rock of this mountain. It's all mountain on the outside and all convenience store on the inside. I got a few drinks and a La Michoacana paleta! (These are some of the best popsicles you can eat). If you're going to pump gas in Hanksville, are you really going to go one that isn't a mountain? No, of course you're not. Don't forget to buy a paleta, too. read more

Hollow Mountain - a gas station in the desert - Gas Stations Near Me - Hanksville, Utah

This is a gas station with the usual store for snacks in a cave. Other than being in a cave, it's pretty standard.

It's a gas station you want to go inside. Driving 121 miles from Blanding in US 95 Scenic Byway north bound, Hanksville is the first sign of civilization. This gas station was on my right and I really needed to use a restroom. From outside, I didn't know what to expect. At first glance, it didn't look much and I wasn't sure if they even had a restroom inside there. This whole store is nestled inside the mountain/huge rocks. Walking towards the back to use their restroom, you can tell that you are inside the rock mountain. Restroom was very clean with flushing water, they had 3 or 4 for women. Staff was very friendly. She greeted me as soon as I walked in with friendly smile. They have standard gas station stuff on sale. I ended up buying Pringle's chips. I carefully checked for expiration date but they were fine. I wasn't sure as how little people drive here, I wanted to check food they sell are not expired. Price was a bit higher than ones you see at any city gas station but considering how far away they are from large cities, I suppose they are reasonable. They have a few other gas stations in Hanksville but this one is the only one looking so unique. If you are in Hanksville, stop by and check out the inside the gas station! read more

Hollow Mountain - Store front - Gas Stations Near Me - Hanksville, Utah

Filled up on diesel at a decent price ($2.57) but paid nearly $7 for a 2.5 gallon jug of water!! I guess this is the desert.... but still over priced! Water is more than diesel... idk if I should be mad... or just amused. Lol read more

Hollow Mountain - $6.66 for a 2.5 gallon jug!! - Gas Stations Near Me - Hanksville, Utah

On the positive side, great place to stop in the middle of nowhere. Clean restrooms, great selection of stuff and a friendly staff in a pretty cool and unique location. Not so great, they could REALLY use more gas pumps. But the location is really neat and unique, the gas prices are good for where they are and like I said the staff here is absolutely amazing. read more

This is a really cool gas and groceries on your path to Lake Powell. It has been my spot for Ice cream, and snacks and gas of course. This store is built right into the rock and kids love it. Clean bathrooms and very helpful staff if you're lost. read more

Hollow Mountain - Our icecream stop - Gas Stations Near Me - Hanksville, Utah

If you weren't reading this review, your experience will probably go like this: "Hey, should we stop for gas?" "Ya, I think I see a gas station up there at the junction of Highway 24 and Highway 95." "Oh, I see it. Ya let's turn in up... wait a second... is that?? Is Where's the store? Wait... is that BUILT INTO THE SIDE OF THE ROCKS?" So really, I feel kinda bad for ruining the surprise if you're just cruising Yelp looking for a gas station right now. But there's still plenty of surprise to be had. Functionally, it's a gas station right where you want it, right at the that highway junction and there aren't too many around these parts, so take advantage. But as you walk in, you're going to be surprised again. In the words of my travel buddy, "It's a lot less mountain-y than I thought it would be." For sure, the front part looks like a normal convenience store. Once you get towards the back and you see the more rocky areas and see some exposed walls, you'll really realize you're hundred thousands and thousands of tons of rock. The restrooms are at the back, and that's a plumbing marvel I don't care to understand. It's a little larger than your average convenience store, but it has all that you'd expect: cold drinks, potties, junk food, a few car accessories; you'll almost forget your inside of a mountain. read more

This is the first gas station you see as you drive south from Goblin Valley in the San Rafael Swell. It appears to be carved into the side of a mountain, so you will notice it, and is something of a landmark among those who travel here. The gentleman who runs the place is very friendly and chatty, although he tries to present himself as something of a curmudgeon-- don't be deterred by this. The prices are high, but you are in the middle of nowhere, so you should only be buying what you need. read more

If you're looking to take a pit stop under a mountain... jackpot. Built into a sandstone cliff, Hollow Mountain is a unique stop-off on your way to your destination (since no one's destination is actually Hanksville). Restrooms: clean People: nice Coke Zero: negative Other stuff to buy: limited If you have your heart set on a specific snack look elsewhere. This place attracts because it's built inside a damn mountain, not because of the merchandise. read more

Hollow Mountain - The view outside of the bathroom. - Gas Stations Near Me - Hanksville, Utah

Hollow Mountain in Hanksville is super unusual because it is built into the mountain! Yes, true to its name. They burrowed in and built a convenience store in here. The only other one I know of is outside of Moab and it is more of a touristy place with tours. Hollow Mountain in Hanksville serves up a great selection of local books on the region, t-shirts and gifts, and lots of cold drinks and fountain sodas as well as beer. There are snacks and sweets and smokes. You can fuel up outside at one of their many pumps. The best part about Hollow Mountain are the bathrooms: go there and you will see the rock of the mountain. It's when you truly realize you are inside a mountain. This is cool, my friends. Outside, you can climb up the mountain and get a nice view of the little town of Hanksville. There's a couple of old firetrucks near the hill and a mailbox that stands unusually high up in the sky. Worth your time to stop by when you're in Hanksville. Plus you will probably want to get gas in town anyway. read more

Probably the most unique gas station I've been to. Pick up some snacks, souvenirs, s'mores supplies, and of course, gas. Snap a quick pick with the dinos hanging out over the store entrance. read more

After getting lost, with my motorcycle gas tank on empty, wandering blindly on Rt24, I thought I was seeing a mirage! Yes, it's just a convenient store/gas station but it's the coolest one you will find anywhere. The store employees were more than friendly and helpful, they were a breath of fresh air (especially coming from the intolerant Liberal state of NY). This is a great place to fill up, get refreshed and take a needed break before heading to Glen Canyon. I ride out West every year; Hollow Mountain will always be one of my planned stops ! read more

Four stars only because the place is built into the side of a sandstone cliff, which I thought was cool. Otherwise it's a regular convenience store and gas station. read more

Cool place. It's just a regular gas station/convenience store, but they have surprising amount of space inside the 'mountain' and ample clean restrooms too. I took a chance on their coffee (I am very picky) and it was actually really strong & good! read more

If you've made it to this point in your travels you'll be looking for a bathroom and they have some of the coolest I've seen. The station is actually built inside of a hill. The rock of the inner mountain is exposed, and it's really neat looking. There are multiple stalls and everything was really clean. The owner is friendly and willing to talk all about the place. Whether you need gas, snacks, of just a pit stop this place is a great stop. read more
