Definitely worth visiting. It is an authentic gold-rush/mining ghost town. Plan to spend at least a full day in Bodie; there is much to see and easy to overlook portions of town if you're rushed. Make sure to visit the cemetery for a real sense of the people who lived/died in Bodie, especially the "Little Angel of Bodie". It's a bit of a bumpy,dusty ride once off main road but well worth seeng. Take a jacket because the winds can blow and it can be chilly at times.
