Yermo, California
Tel: (760) 254-2122

Located 10 miles east of Barstow, at the side of King Mountain, this one-time silver-mining boomtown built in 1881 was once home to over 500 mines (and about 22 saloons for the 1,200 residents) in its heyday. Calico bills itself a "living museum," with "living history" reenactments and is one of the better-restored ghost towns in the United States. Calling itself "a walk you'll never forget," the Calico Ghost Walk is a 90-minute after-dark tour of the ghost town streets held every Saturday from February-November, highlighting the history of the town, both natural and supernatural.
