Redding, California

We woke up early on Saturday and drove 45 minutes north to Redding. Redding is a city of nearly 90,000 with the Sacramento River running through it. It's famous for the Sundial Bridge, which was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The bridge was completed in 2004 and links the north and south campus of Turtle Bay Exploration Park.

 
The Sundial Bridge is 700 feet in length and spans the Sacramento River without touching it. It's for pedestrians and bicyclists only.

 
There are gorgeous views of the river and nearby mountains.
 
 
The water is so clear you can see the bottom.
