The Bodie Hills Conservation Partnership and Friends of the Inyo will lead a fall colors tour in the northern portion of the Bodie Hills on Oct 9. RSVP in advance is required.

The outing will be primarily a driving tour with several stops, including visits to historic mining sites. Photography is encouraged and the trip leader will be pointing out any wildlife spotted along the way.

We will meet at the Bridgeport Ranger District station for carpooling and parking at 9 a.m.

We will travel up the Masonic road, stop at the Chemung mine site and aspen grove, continue to Lakeview Spring, go over New York hill and into the Pittsburg Liberty Mine site. We’ll take a short walk to have lunch in the aspen groves and return to Bridgeport via the Geiger grade and Aurora Canyon roads. This trip will highlight some of the best shows of color in the Eastern Sierra and the rich, and sometimes overlooked, history of the Bodies. We anticipate finishing up at around 4 p.m.

4-WD high clearance vehicles will be required for this trip.
