  Bowlin's
by Basaic
 
 

As one of my fellow VTers stated, the worst tourist traps seem to put the most signs along the road. Along I-10 you will find a couple of shops run by the Bowlin's people. If you want to get authentic Native American crafts try the reservations. Not Bowlin's.

Unique Suggestions: Feel free to stop and look; but you may want to buy elsewhere. The Bowlin's on the continental divide offers a free liter of water so try that one. At least you get some water.

Fun Alternatives: Buiy your Native American crafts and souvenirs from a reputable place on or near a reservation.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
