We stopped at historic Kelso Depot (1924) while doing a scenic driving tour through the Mojave Desert Preserve. Unfortunately, it's only open Thursday-Monday from 10:00-5:00, so we had to be content with looking at the outdoor exhibits. Educational signs relate the history of the railroad...More

I stopped at the Kelso Depot hoping to pick up some sage wisdom on visiting the Mojave National Preserve from the visitors center. I left a bit disappointed as the National Parks ranger was fairly tight lipped and perhaps I didn't ask the right questions,...More
