Odessa Canyon Highlights

Highlights: Odessa Canyon - Barstow, CaliforniaOdessa Canyon is the flagship trail for Calico. Comprised of many hard obstacles with no bypasses, this trail will make you earn your trip to the top. On top of the difficulty, Odessa provides the best views in the area. Many people leave this trail only wanting to do it again. But be ready, this trail has a 7 foot waterfall, an extremely narrow rollover spot that you just have to see to believe, and a super tight off-camber canyon.
