"Main Street" Calico Things to Do Tip by grandmaR

This attraction had been resurrected by the owner of Knotts Berry Farm. He gave it to the County who now run it as a regional park. The entrance is in "Wall Street Canyon", where the rocks extend upward nearly 100 feet.

You can take a walking tour with Calico's historian beginning at 10 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m. The 45 minute tour is free, and examines the life of miners, the famous 20 mule teams, and Calico's mail carrying dog, "Dorsey".

The town shops include a 1880's confectionary, a saloon where the sounds of honky tonk piano often fill the air, a full service restaurant, leather goods, pottery, basket, bottle, rock and dry goods stores. South of town is Calico's cemetery.

Directions: Calico is located 10 miles north of Barstow, Exit I-15 at Ghost Town Rd.
