Redding included in Best Pedestrian Bridges to Hike On

Sure, pedestrian bridges can get you from one side to another and help raise your step count, but they’ve also got interesting backstories, lovely views and eye-catching design aesthetics. In this time of social distancing, they can also provide a fair amount of space for spreading out and bringing us a little closer to natural settings. So plan a leisurely stroll along these pedestrian bridges across America.

Sundial Bridge

Spanning the Sacramento River in Redding‘s Turtle Bay Exploration Park, this bridge gets its name from having a working sundial that can record shadows for four hours a day. This dazzler also serves as an entrance to the Sacramento River Trail system and links the park’s northern and southern campus entrances.
