Yermo, CA

Located in the Mojave Desert about 13 miles east of Barstow along Interstate 15, Yermo is a small, quiet desert community with deep roots in local history. Most travelers pass through on their way between Southern California and Las Vegas, often stopping for Calico Ghost Town, a preserved 1880s silver-mining camp just up the road, or classic roadside staples like Peggy Sue's 50s Diner. For anyone looking to relocate here, life is slow-paced and spacious, with Barstow close enough for regular grocery runs, dining, and daily essentials.
