Unfortunately I had a disappointing stop at the gift shop this Sunday afternoon. I have stopped by once before and the door was locked a few minutes before closing time; all good, I would come back another day to get those stickers for an out-of-state friend. I checked the hours before making the walk through town to get up here, and arrived at the door at 3:42 pm, 18 minutes before closing time. I was informed upon entering that they were closed for the day and they were unable to sell a couple stickers, not even for cash.

   Read moreI tried to go to this store after climbing the incline so I could buy some apparel. Apparently they function on their own time and are never open. Super aggravating when you have to pay to park in order to go to this store! Not to mention the steep climb to get there! Dont pay attention to the google status of open or closed or their posted hours on the front of the store.... They're closed. I will not support the store and will fervently advise everyone else to avoid it like the plague.
