Grocery Options
As a remote and seasonal tourist destination, the grocery selection can be limited and come at a premium. We recommend stocking up on necessities before heading our way, especially if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences. Make sure to stop in at the family-owned Thronson's General Store in Babb for any items you may have missed on your list. There is also a small grocery and convenience store located in St. Mary where you can get food items, diesel and propane.
