Barstow - Tourist Attractions / Parks
Certainly, Barstow is notable as a historic hub for cars and trains
and mules and the local museums reflect its past and present
significance in transportation. What may make Barstow fascinating to
the tourist, however, is a mixture of ghost towns, archaeological
sites and incredible natural attractions. The former mining
site, Calico Ghost Town, is worth a visit, and the Calico Early Man
Site nearby is one of the more exciting archaeological sites in the
nation. Dry lakes and dramatic canyons and basins ask to be hiked, and
the sudden greenery of the Amargosa River is a place to relax.
