Mountain Man Store

Wooly Bears

Not just a store, an experience…

Take a step back into the old west, when the mountain men were blazing trails and living the dream of adventure and exploration in the mountains of the west. The romance of the west permeates the walls of our old log cabin. Step inside to find remnants of “America’s first survivalists”, the mountain man.

Good folk return year after year to find one-of-a-kind authentic pieces to take back to suburbia, to bring nostalgia and a bit of the mountains back to their homes. The old ways were good ways.

So, come by for a real experience! There are other “Mountain Man” stores in and around the country, but we maintain that ours is one of the finest.
