The owner was very welcoming, knowledgeable about the designers she stocks, and her little dog was adorable too! I grabbed a couple cuts of fabric to take home. She had a great selection so it was tough to pick just a couple! There was a good mix of retro/vintage, antique, modern, colorful, baby prints, flannels, etc. She was also totally stocked with notions. Prices were on par for quality quilt fabrics.

We were short on a few supplies for our backpacking trip, and The Approach came through for us in a big way. The owner, Michael, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and had clearly spent a lot of time in the mountains. Besides finding everything we needed, the prices were really reasonable for such a small town. I highly recommend this place if you are traveling towards Yosemite or the mountains, and need a few last-minute items. They even have fishing flies! On top of all of this, there was a lovely selection of jewelry made by his wife and I was able to get my mom a beautiful necklace for her birthday that she really loved.

I bought one of my sleeping bags at the mountain shop-- my Nemo Forte 20…read more I remember buying it on clearance for less than $200, which, at the time, seemed like a good deal. It's been an okay bag. It was also my only option. In the year and a half since I purchased this bag, the Shop has not curated any other bags. The only option (for male or female) is the Forte 20. It's unclear why it was ever on clearance. Since temperatures in Yosemite Valley regularly drop down to 16 degrees Fahrenheit from November-March, I wonder why the only bag the shop carries is one that's only rated down to 20 degrees. I would also note that this rating is for survival, not for comfort. In order to survive the sub 20 degree temperature over the past few weeks, I used two sleeping bags, two blankets, and two insulators. The shop must be missing out on so many hundreds of thousands of dollars of sleeping bag sales. Would anyone else have bought a more expensive Mountain Hardware 0 degree bag, if that had been an option? I might have. This pattern applies across most backpacking categories. Want a tent? You have one option under $500 that might actually be in season. Want a stove? You've got one option. Want any niche women's gear, like maybe a kula cloth? Well piss off, because your one option for everything seems to have been curated by a 19 year old male climber. Whoever does the purchasing for this store does a great job of listening to what teenage male climbers want to buy-- and that's it! Why does the product selection suck so bad? It's not like there's not enough room for more inventory. Literally an entire side of the store that's meant to be a display wall is just blocked off. It looks terrible. Anyone who is a professional retail merchandiser would literally grimace looking at the outside merchandising of the mountain shop. I know I do. It looks awful. It could look a thousand times better. In a pinch, you might get what you need, maybe. Unless it's a decent selection of seasonally appropriate tents or sleeping bags-- you won't find that here, for some reason. Here is the selection of tents mid-December: Nemos over $500, an MSR. Elixir 2 for $300 (when it's in stock, which is less than half the time) and... make this make sense... a Kelty summer tent for $60. Why the summer tent? The two spaces it's taking up could be two Coleman options or like, any reasonable option that could be used in fall or winter. If you don't buy what you need before you get to Yosemite, you might find yourself driving back out to the nearest REI in Fresno, or ordering your supplies via Amazon Prime.
