Walking Redding’s Turtle Bay Trails: Arboretum Loop from Sundial Bridge

March 1, 2020 By John Soares Leave a Comment

Redding’s spectacular Turtle Bay offers walkers a wide variety of options: strolling the Sundial Bridge, exploring the McConnell Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, and hiking the Arboretum Loop Trail and the Sacramento River Trail.

Many of the activities I describe involve traveling to outdoor areas and then walking and doing related activities in those areas. As with any activity, there are potential dangers involved. These potential dangers can include, but are not limited to:

1. Driving to and from the outdoors area
2. Difficult terrain that can result in falls
3. Weather extremes, including floods, lightning, rain, snow, and high and low temperatures
4. Animals
5. Insects
6. Getting lost
7. Injury and death

You are responsible for your own safety. This requires that you:

1. Be fully prepared for contingencies
2. Are in good enough physical condition
3. Pay attention at all times
4. Bring the proper equipment and supplies
