Bodie Ghost Town
A California State Historical Park. It was a booming gold mining town with over 10,000 miners in the 1870-80’s. Over $35 million in gold was mined during those years. It is the largest un-restored ghost town in the western United States and a photographer’s paradise. The town features weathered buildings, a museum and a visitor center.
Devil’s Post Pile
a National Monument of huge basalt columns of volcanic origin which were formed over many centuries. Great flows of lava cooled forming stress fractures producing columns ranging from four to seven sides. Just a two mile hike downstream from Devil’s Post Pile is majestic Rainbow Falls, considered to be one of the most beautiful in the Sierra. The falls have a 101 foot drop in the Lava formation which sends rainbows of color from its mist.
