the sundial bridge in redding is awesome, shit lites up at night son.

and there is alot to do there.

What's wondrous: How, you might ask, can a pedestrian bridge over the Sacramento River hold a candle to an internationally known icon like the Golden Gate Bridge?

Think of it as the story of a little city that could -- with the help of a fairy godmother.

The little city is Redding, population 90,000. And the fairy godmother is the McConnell Foundation, whose endowment of $400 million underwrote the $23.5million cost of a crowd-stopper of a span designed by famed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.

The Sundial Bridge, which opened three years ago at Turtle Bay Exploration Park, is a thing of beauty and grace rendered all the more remarkable for the fact that its 217-foot, angled steel pylon functions as a gnomon, making it in essence the world's largest sundial.

More than a million pieces of broken Spanish tile add textural interest to the 700-foot span, which also features a transparent green glass deck that casts skittering dapples on the surface of the river below.

The Sundial Bridge has put Redding on the map both as a tourist destination in its own right and as a gateway to Mount Shasta, Lake Shasta, Lassen National Park, the Sacramento River National Recreation Trail and other regional destinations. And that, in our book, is wondrous.

By the numbers: The 700-foot-long suspension bridge, attached to its pylon by 14 cables, took five years to build. Its ecologically sensitive design is intended to reduce interference with the salmon that swim and spawn in the river below.

How to visit: Drivers coming from Sacramento on Interstate 5 should exit at Highway 299/44, go west toward downtown Redding and Weaverville, exit at Auditorium Drive and follow the signs.

Information: Turtle Bay Exploration Park, (530) 243-8850 or www.turtlebay.org.

alos, i would recommend going up to that fort bragg area in mendocino. we had this painter go up there and catch salmon, abalone, trout.
