Sundial Bridge and Turtle Bay Park in Redding

Sundial Bridge

Today we explored the Sundial Bridge, a single-tower suspension bridge that spans 700 feet across the Sacramento River. Because of its exact north-south orientation, the 217 foot-high cantilever support tower functions as a sundial.

After playing around on and taking photos of the Sundial Bridge, we strolled through the nearby arboretum and enjoyed a few plants and flowers, but mostly the butterflys. We followed that with a delicious home-made pizza dinner.
