Redding's Sundial Bridge Walk         Directions from Simpson

World Famous Architect Santiago Calatrava (2004 Greece Olympic Games) has created a marvel for Redding. With world class views and cool breezes this makes a wonderful and memorable short hike. Access is easy and best of all it's free. Please ask for directions from the Simpson Hosts. Directly connected to Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Natural Museum (requires admission fee). Makes a great 2-4 hour outing to take in all three attractions or just see and walk the bridge in a leisurely hour.
