Bodie exploded as a gold mining town in 1876, after the discovery of gold ore. It is estimated that Bodie produced over $34 million worth of gold over the years. The town was finally abandoned in 1942.

Park fees are assessed upon entry in to Bodie. Once in Bodie feel free to roam about the city exploring the abandoned buildings. The entire town of Bodie is saturated with an air of mystery.
