Hunt's Trading Post — Restaurant in Blanding

Hunt's Trading Post was a last minute drive-by stop. My guy knew I wanted some silver and turquiose earrings as souvenirs of our vacation away from Las Vegas, NV. We stayed a full week in Blanding in early April and had seen the shop closed both early morning leave-out and late evening return to our motel, and wrongly assumed Covid had shut them down. However, on Tuesday, we headed out to do some sight-seeing and souvenier shopping. He pulled into Hunt's as we were surprised to see the "Open" sign lit up. Not knowing what I would find, Hunt's turned out to have the most awesome choices in silver with turquiose and other semi-precious gem stones jewlery, jaw-toothed saws, cultural/natural bead necklaces, sage and other herbs, beans and other such useful lifestyle item's. I not only found the perfect souvenier dangle AND post earrings but we also picked up fabulous gifts for my guys daughter, mom, stepdad and sister! A true one-stop-souvenier-shop!!

Hunt's is also a coffee shop! Didn't know that going in and we WILL be going back for that later this week.

The Navajo proprietor has been there for over 30 years and also has a gallery of native cultural items in a gallery in another room just off the shop. Ask to see it and ask him questions! He and the gallery are fascinating. Even my 11 year old was enthralled with the cultural richness of the shop...

If you are in search of some excellent coffee and company look no further! Wayne and Maija were such a pleasure to talk to and gave great tips on the area and where to explore. The coffee was amazing-I sample craft espresso all over the country and this was so good that I ordered a second to have for later. There is also a great selection of beautiful handmade native jewelry in their shop. Do yourself a favor and...
