what is there to do in barstow, california?

Answer 1

I lived for two years in Barstow.

I kind of liked it, but my wife hated it.

Visit Calico Ghost Town.

Everything else I would suggest requires a four wheel drive SUV. There is lots to see if you get off the main roads, but take a cell phone, plenty of water, and let someone know where you are going. Look at a BLM map.

Otherwise, do what most folks do; that is, go visit somewhere else. Arrowhead Lake, Victorville, Las Vegas, Death Valley, etc.

Answer 2

Nothing. Barstow is somewhere you stop to get gas on your way to somewhere else.
