I love a historical playground! Exploring a new place while also learning about some of California’s first gold settlers makes it even better. This ghost town is located in Bodie, California. Only 5% still stands today due to harsh elements and fire but what is left is truly magical. It’s worth a trip if you’re nearby, you won’t regret it. If you’re lucky enough to be visiting in your off road vehicle, I recommend checking out the off road trail below that I took in which also boasts some great historical sites along the way.
