The road to Bodie is now open!
April 27th, 2011 by Rosanne, Office Director
The road (Highway 270) to Bodie is now open, and you can drive to one and a half miles of the park. At that point you need to park at the gate—be sure not to block it—and walk, ski, or snowshoe the rest of the way into Bodie. Skis, snowshoes, or good boots are still necessary to walk around the town of Bodie as well.
California’s state parks are a valuable part of the state’s cultural and natural history.
Bodie State Historic Park, which contains incredible intact buildings from this mining town’s boom days, is no exception. During a visit to Bodie, visitors can marvel at the many elements that were a part of this rough-and-tumble gold town: the jailhouse, banks, houses, saloons, and churches, just to name a few.
To check highway conditions any time of the year, please visit the CalTrans road conditions website, or call 1-800-GAS-ROAD.
