Today I went with a few of my hiking buddies and enjoyed a beautiful day checking out the Sturtevant Falls trail. After the great workout we had coming back up a steep and seemingly never ending hill, we decided the sign for burgers and cold beer from Adam's Pack Station strategically placed half way up the hill, was exactly what we needed to recover. I ordered a burger with fries and a budweiser which came to $10.50 and was made to order. The drinks were nice and cool and the burger and fries were fresh and hot off the grill. The grill/pick up area had signs for Perfect Canyon Hot Dogs and Kick Ass Burgers which is right on the money! They have a simple menu selection but they cover all the bases from burgers to hot dogs to veggie burgers. My friends and I were pleasantly surprised at how great everything tasted and really enjoyed sitting on the deck with plenty of shade and a nice view of the cute goats and mules. They also offer ice cream bars, candy, muffins, hot chocolate, coffee and much more inside the general store. Credit cards are accepted.
Can't beat a lovely day enjoying nature in good company and topping it off with a cold beer and a burger with fries! -

Haulin' Ass Since 1936!
This pack station is the last of its kind in southern California. Since 1936, they have faithfully delivered goods to cabins via donkeys and served the hikers and campers of Chantry Flats. They provide gear, food, and other general store stuff. But more than that, the friendly folks at the station can provide valuable advice on trails and terrain conditions.
Tips: Don't have a parking permit aka "Adventure Pass?" Pick one up at the store. Check their website for events. -

This place is bullshit and I'll tell you why. I went here to pay the stupid fee to park. The guy ahead of me want to buy a piece of fabric with the map of the trail on it hanging on the wall for $20. The guy wanted another one that was cleaner and the snot nosed kid that was running the joint was like "that's our only one" he even had the other girl working put up the act to look for another one. The guy bought it and then the other girl asked "should I put another one up?" and the kid said "no wait a while". I would expect that behavior from 7/11 workers but not from this place. It's really ridiculous
Oh they have beer here in which I dunno if they have a liquor license to sell. -

Don't get me wrong, the hike to Sturtevant Falls is wonderful, but the people at the Adams' Packing Station are just plain rude. From their behavior to their signs and even their website, they very clearly show two main themes: They have no interest in visitor education, they simply tell you to read the sign of visit the website. They are the only game in town, and will charge whatever they please and provide the lowest level of service possible. Their sarcastic and bitter demeanor reflects poorly on the residents of the cabins that they serve and the decisions of the national park service to continue renewing their permit.

The most special and unique place in the forest -- a pack station that offers many live music and family activities, moonlight hikes, and much more, including great food and merchandise.

This is a great place: about as close to a ma & pa business you can imagine. Five miles from town and you are in another world - in the forest. Park your car there and the friendly staff can direct you on the best hike for you. Come back and sit around the fire pit, have a beer and enjoy their BBQ.
