Redding

Redding lies along the Sacramento River at the northern end of California’s Sacramento Valley, where the broad valley begins to meet the foothills of the Shasta Cascade. The river is central to the city’s identity, and the Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay Exploration Park crosses it with a white mast designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Opened in 2004, the pedestrian bridge functions as a giant sundial and has become Redding’s signature civic landmark. Downtown retains reminders of the rail-era settlement that developed here in the late 19th century, while the Cascade Theatre, a 1935 Art Deco venue, remains a live-performance address.
