Raymond Store & Cabins

This is a really neat place to stop. We had been up shooting guns in the mountains, and my father-​in-​law knew of this place. We stopped in for a cold soda, and ended up getting a couple stories while we were there. That is the fun part about going here, is the stories from the guy who runs the place. As far as convenience stores are concerned, its just a small little store. Its the stories and just talking to the owner that make this stop all worth the while, and of course a cold Coca-​Cola. I recommend that everyone stop that is passing by, it will be a memorable experience!

If you’re biking or driving on the Peak-​to-​Peak, absolutely pull off in Raymond and stop here. Mike’s a fabulous local resource and a hoot to boot. Stop in. Buy a candy bar and a topo map. Allow an hour.
Purveyor of hiking, biking, camping, photo, and other random gear and supplies, along with local lore and digital photography knowledge, Mike will give you an earful on any subject you happen to stumble into, and also somehow segue into photography.
He may also well give you stuff: my kids got a bag of paintballs to pitch at the road. My husband got a chunk of «that’s no Kraft cheese» cut off the slab with a bucknife. I got a bamboo hiking towel, a lesson in bringing up shadow contrast using CS2, and a pile of excellent off-​the-​path hiking trail suggestions printed out on pocket-​sized cards.
Store is open «except when it ain’t.»
