Montebello Country Store

The staff is super friendly and offered directions around the area (we thought our phones would work... that joke was on us). They had items we couldn't find at our campsites store and offer some cute country shopping items. We didn't have time to eat here but their menu looked great. Can't wait to try the chili on our next visit.

Chili!

Tired of hiking up and down Crabtree Falls and need a place to help you gain those calories back that you left somewhere in the woods? Well, this is the place for you.

This is one of our favorite stops after a trip to the falls. They usually have a couple of pots of chili and soup on hand for the weary travelers, but it goes fast. The chili is usually fresh, not too spicy, but full of goodness. They offer two sizes. A small bowl will run you about $2.50 and the large around $4 I think.

This is also a great little country store where you can get basic camping necessities, snacks and sit out on the porch to relax while enjoying your hot , refreshing, filling bowl of simmering sustenance.

If you are not completely worn out yet... you can also grab some fishing gear and head across the street to the trout pond to catch your dinner. You'll have to cook that yourself though. I'll stick to the chili.
