Some days in Bodie can bring a surprise. On my last visit, six cowboys were herding a few hundred head of cattle down the main street of Bodie. They stopped to rest their horses and smoke a few Marlboros. Bodie winters can be brutal at 8375 feet. A cool day in spring is the best time to visit.
Warm days bring out the biting gnats.
Great displays of autumn color paint Lundy Canyon to the west and most of the eastern edge of the Sierra in many shades of yellow. Aspen on the higher mountain ridges peak first in early October followed in mid-October by cottonwood trees along the Owens River near Bishop, California.
