Description
Bodie Ghost Town Photography Tour is Back!
Exclusive access before Bodie opens to the public AND access in the evening and night for uninterrupted photography and incredibly astro photography opportunities in America’s best-preserved ghost town! This includes access to the inside of many of these historic buildings.
Imagine a morning in which we arrive at 6am before the park is open to the public and have access to enter many of the buildings to photograph!
Then, Imagine EXCLUSIVE access after dark! We have obtained permits that allow us to photograph and have the town all to OURSELVES after hours and under the stars from 6pm-1am! Timed for awesome Milkyway opportunities.
