the stanford dish

Went to the Stanford Dish to exercise and enjoy some very pretty and interesting views. The Dish, named after the large old radiotelescope used for research in the Stanford foothills and visible from throughout the area. Rain or shine, you'll find hundreds of locals or students walking or jogging. The trail is paved and you are not supposed to leave the trail. The trail goes up and down along hills and valleys. Most visitors use the Stanford Ave. gate, located where Stanford Ave. intersects with Junipero Serra Blvd. Parking is allowed on Stanford Ave., but be sure not to park on the side streets where Stanford residential parking permits are required or you'll be ticketed.
