Bodie State Historic Park - West Coast Trek


Bookmark and Share



Bodie State Historic Park is an authentic California ghost town which was once a thriving mining town. It is a National Historic Site and a State Historic Park.  It nearly closed in 2008 due to a lack of funding by the state of California. Visitors can walk through a portion of a town that once had a population of nearly 10,000 people.

If you visit Yosemite National Park and drive from west to east, you will exit and go north on US 395.  Going north you will reach state highway 270, which is a gravel road. Take that east about 13 miles.
