Directions:
On I15 about 8 miles west of Barstow on the way to Las Vegas take the Ghost Town Road Exit and turn right onto Ghost Town Road. Go to the 4 way stop and turn left then make an immediate left into the Peggy Sues 50's Diner parking lot.

12/16-17- The Calico OHV area has a variety of trial for all different levels. Mule & Wall Street [Easy], Phillips Loop [Easy to Moderate], Odessa [Moderate to Difficult] and Doran [Difficult]. Sliders recommended for Odessa, a fun tight in spots rocky cyn trail but near stock 4x4’s ok in the past. Doran is tougher so that + lift, and some experience in the rocks is recommended, plan on bypassing the extreme obstacle at gatekeeper on the lower section. We will start on the Phillips loop on Saturday and head over to Odessa for those that want to run that one. Night run to the lake or something.

Doran and Wall street on Sunday with a trip to the ghost town and other sites in between.
