San Francisco – Sundial Bridge – Shasta Dam

San Francisco - Today, the journey begins with a drive to the Sundial Bridge, a true masterpiece of art. Following this, the trip continues to Shasta Dam, California’s most renowned dam! It promises an unexpected and delightful surprise, often hailed as one of the greatest engineering achievements of all time.

Itinerary:

San Francisco → Sundial Bridge (30 mins) → Shasta Dam (Mandatory, 60 mins) → Klamath Falls

Sundial Bridge - The Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay is a globally recognized pedestrian bridge and public art installation that spans the Sacramento River in Redding, linking the north and south campuses of Turtle Bay Exploration Park. True to its name, the Sundial Bridge functions as a sundial and ranks among the largest in the world. Its sundial shadow traces such a vast arc that it can only record four hours daily, from 11 am to 3 pm. It is not precise in winter as the shadow extends too far into the arboretum to be visible. The bridge celebrates human creativity and ingenuity, key themes of the 300-acre Turtle Bay Exploration Park. The steel, glass, and granite structure evokes a sense of weightlessness, and the translucent, non-skid decking offers spectacular views at night. The bridge is also environmentally considerate of its river setting.
