We made a brief stop at the park enroute to Cal Salmon River after seeing the highly advertised Sundial Bridge on many billboards. The unique bridge was well worth seeing. As an added pleasant suprise, the famous Budweiser Clydesdales were also at the park.

The world's largest sundial is 217ft tall with cable stays that divide the bridge into a major/minor path
The bridge was completed in 2004, costing $23 millions.
