Millions ask, "Design Trekker, where do you go to get away from spanning the globe, viewing the world's architectural treasures and felonies?" The answer is Cosumnes River Preserve in Northern California. It's a huge wild place south of Sacramento where millions of birds spend the winter and humans walk pedestrian footpaths and bridges into the middle of nowhere. I live 10 minutes north of the parking lot, where all urban cares fall quickly silent.
The place is designed for humans viewing birds. So the bridges are built to pedestrian scale, a gift to those who like to slow down and stroll. These small, lovely feats of iron and wood below span marshes, creeks and wetlands.
