To order your resupply package:
Visit our reservations page and select a room for one or more nights.
Click on the Resupply Packages tab and select the Hiker Resupply package for One, or Hiker Resupply Package for Two, and add it to your booking .

If you have four hikers in your group, book 2 rooms to receive the full package discount again. Please contact us if you run into any issues while making your reservation.
Please DO NOT mail your resupply to the motel unless you have a reservation. If you cancel your trip, You will have to pay for return postage as the USPS is no longer returning unopened packages for free as of 2019.
Ship your resupply in a 3-5 gallon plastic bucket. Please include a return address.
DO NOT send your resupply in a cardboard box. We are located in a desert filled with many critters that are drawn to cardboard. The plastic buckets keep them out. You can often get free buckets with lids from restaurants or purchase them for around $5 at a hardware store. We are not responsible for any damages to your resupply sent in a box and you may be charged a $50 relocation fee if we have to transfer your items into a bucket.
Send your bucket via USPS Priority mail so it arrives at least 1 week prior to your expected arrival date. Print your name and expected pickup date on the outside of the bucket. Buckets without an arrival date will be stored in the mystery bucket room, never to be seen again.
*Note that you can not ship or mail fuel of any kind. We have ISOPRO fuel canisters for sale at the motel. Let us know if you need a specific type of fuel and we will try to have it on hand for purchase.
