Gang,

Where in EP can we buy some fuel for our backpacking stoves? We need the canisters of isobutane mix.

We need to hit a grocery store in Moraine Ave. anyway,.....any outfitters around here?

Thanks in advance.

I use the MSR cannisters and have found them at a store called "Scotts Sporting Goods" which I think is near the main park entrance and downtown at "Outdoor World" and a climbing store which is near Brownfield's trading post (same side of street going away from downtown).

I use the same, and it seems I got some at a little store next to the supermarket on the corner by the stoplight before you head into RMNP. I can't remember what its called though. Really nice people. I bought my MSR "Pocket Rocket" there also.

That's Scot's Sporting Goods. Just to clarify, it's not "Safeway." It's the other supermarket. As you are traveling toward RMNP, Scot's is just past the supermarket on the left side of the street. If I remember right, Outdoor World, which is downtown, carried both the 8 oz. and 4 oz. size.
