Bodie Road CLOSURE update

(Updated 12/18/24) Highway 270 is currently closed with no estimated time of re-opening. This road is subject to closure by CALtrans in the winter months due to snow and mud. Roads to Bodie are county roads and closures are not determined by California State Parks.

All other roads to Bodie are dirt roads and are not advised this time of year. Hwy 270 is the only paved road (10 miles of pavement and 3 miles of dirt). If this road is closed, it is a good indication that all other roads are impacted by mud and snow. Be wise and stay safe! 

Many mapping services, such as Google Maps and GPS may still show alternate routes to Bodie. CALtrans road conditions also advise using alternate routes.

***CAUTION!***

*Alternate routes to Bodie not advised for MOST vehicles and visitors who are not prepared for Bodie's winter conditions. 

**Every year, many vehicles, including 4-wheel drive, get stuck trying to get to Bodie on these roads leaving people stranded in areas without cell services and challenges getting help. Towing services for these dirt roads are costly! If your vehicle is stuck, you will have to wait for Spring 2025 to recover your vehicle.
