Be sure to walk towards the rear of the store to see exposed rock -- including markings from all the drilling.

The gas station convenience store is built right into the side of a mountain. They have everything a normal gas station convenience store would have as far as food and things. An employee told me it's been there for over 40 years.

Some skeletal dinosaurs have been added on the roof by the Hollow Mountain store entrance.

On March 6 I drove through Hanksville, home of the Hollow Mountain gas station. I was with a group that was in a hurry, so I didn't get a chance to talk with anyone inside. But I did manage to snap a couple of photos.
[Candace S., 03/17/2013]This business (Hollow Mountain Gas & Grocery) is under new management. It has been made larger inside the rock, with more items for sale, and you can see the rockface in the hall to the new, larger restrooms. More expansion is planned in coming months. I am the owner's sister and I can vouch for the fact that we are going to have a better souvenir selection as well.
Note: Lake Powell still has plenty of water. The low lake level reports are only half the story -- if you think of the lake as a four story building, it has only lost the top story. There is plenty of lake to play on, and you can see things that have not been accessible for years. The fishing is fantastic right now.
