The Calico Mountains are a climbing area in California on Bureau of Land Management land within the Barstow Field Office, about 13 miles from the town of Barstow. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable conditions. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Barstow put April highs around 77°F with lows near 49°F, and October highs around 81°F with lows near 53°F. That station sits well below the mountains, so temperatures up high run cooler. Within about 10 miles, the Yermo Sculpture Walk is roughly 8 miles away, and the Lead Mountain Access Path is about 9 miles off.
