Orinda: TV606 - SR-24 : Gateway Blvd

Built around a railway stop in the San Pablo Creek valley, Orinda grew into an incorporated East Bay city of wooded hills and low-density residential neighborhoods. The creek runs north toward San Pablo Reservoir, while the Berkeley Hills form the community’s western edge and separate it from Oakland. State Route 24 reaches Orinda through the Caldecott Tunnel, a long-standing link between inland Contra Costa County and the Bay side of the hills. In the centre, the 1941 Orinda Theatre is a surviving Art Deco cinema and a focal point for film and performance programming.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
