   Is Stanford Dish a good place to hike?

   • Stanford dish is a nice place to get your steps in! There's a beautiful view of the bay once you get to the top. The paved trail goes in a 3.5 mile loop, with plenty of incline throughout. First incline up can be tiring at first. Parking can be a bit strenuous on Stanford Ave, you might need to make one loop around if the parking is full.

   Does Palo Alto have shade?

   • There isn't any shade on the trails. Cool place near Palo Alto to go on a nice clear day, especially since its not too hot yet. The hill is a bit steep so if you're to used to hiking bring water and definitely stretch. It was a nice hike though and I loved the view once we got up top. The wild turkeys were really cool.

   The pathway is very smooth and well maintained. I really like how there are hills and flats along the way. It is easy to keep a good pace and complete the loop run.

   493 reviews of The Dish - Stanford Foothills "One of the best places for an afternoon run or leisurely hike. On a clear day you'll get panoramic views of the bay. Also a wildlife preserve so you'll see lots of little animals and birds. Very convenient access - located behind Stanford U. and close to 280."
