About Bodie Hills

The Bodie Hills are a remote and rugged mountain range located in eastern California, near the Nevada border. The range is characterized by steep, rocky terrain, with numerous peaks and ridges rising to elevations over 9,000 feet. The landscape is dominated by pinyon-juniper woodland, sagebrush, and alpine meadows, providing a diverse array of habitats for wildlife. The region has a high-desert climate, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters.
