Among all of the other things we love about living in Northern California is the proximity to so many beautiful and diverse places. On this blog we've already seen such places as Point Reyes, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz, Reno, Grand Canyon...and now Sundial Bridge and Shasta Dam.
On a beautiful, sunny, Mothers' Day morning, we decided to drive to Redding (about 155 miles) and experience the Sundial Bridge. This is an actual working sundial sculpture on a walking bridge crossing the Sacramento River in Redding. The scenery, the sculpture, the nearly pristine river are all just beautiful -a wonderful way to spend a day. About 15 miles north of the city of Redding is Lake Shasta and, of course, a view of Mt. Shasta (you've all seen a pictorial of this mountain on cans of Shasta soft drinks...). The Shasta Dam is about 10 miles off the beaten path (that path being I-5) and is well worth the side-trip if you are passing through the area.
More information on these two points of interest (POI) can be Googled (of course).
