Self-drive use
Stop when
Use it for south entrance staging and major resupply when the drive needs a predictable reset.
Handle here
Vons and Raley's make the stop low-uncertainty; cover fuel, big box groceries, restaurants, and pharmacy here.
Confirm
Plan around winter chain control on the approach and summer wildfire smoke; keep another town option if those are active that day.
