Sundial Bridge: A Marvel of Nature and Architecture

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from downtown Redding, walk towards the Sacramento River at the corner of California Street and Market Street. Head east on California Street, cross the river using the pedestrian-friendly bridge at the end of the street. Once you cross, follow the path along the riverbank, which leads you directly to the entrance of the Sacramento River Trail. Continue along the trail for about 0.5 miles until you see the Sundial Bridge ahead. The bridge is easily recognizable by its unique design.

• Biking

  For a biking route from downtown Redding, begin at the Redding City Hall and head towards the Sacramento River. Take the bike path that runs parallel to the river. Follow this path for about 1 mile, which will take you directly to Sundial Bridge. Make sure to keep an eye out for signage along the trail that indicates the direction to the bridge, and enjoy the scenic views of the river as you ride.

• Public Transit

  If you prefer public transportation, check the local bus schedule for RABA (Redding Area Bus Authority). You can take Route 1, which stops at Turtle Bay Exploration Park. Once you get off the bus, walk through the park along the designated paths to reach Sundial Bridge. This route is approximately a 10-minute walk through the park's beautiful landscapes.
