Tips from locals
Super cool ghost town. It's like going back in time. The drive is worth it. Try to do the factory tour (ask when you get there).
This is a real gold rush era ghost town. The State of CA runs the Park and preserved all the buildings, so you can walk up and down the streets and look into them and take a virtual tour. Fascinating for history and Wild West buffs. About an hour's drive North from Mammoth. The dirt road to Bodie is closed during the Winter.
This is long day trek, but we've done it multiple times. It's a perfectly preserved Ghost Town over the Sonora Pass. It isn't accessible in the Winter as the road is closed. Stop in Bridgeport on way there or back to eat lunch or dinner. Sonora Pass is a very windy and steep road in places and takes a bit to drive it. The scenery is breathtaking though!
