➡️ The Stanford Dish Loop Trail is a popular hiking route located in the hills above Stanford University in Palo Alto, California

🔁 The trail spans about 3.5 miles, offering stunning panoramic views of the Bay Area, including the San Francisco skyline, the Peninsula, and the surrounding hills. Named after the large radio telescope dish situated along the trail, the loop provides a moderate workout with its steady incline and well-maintained dirt paths—bring water and prepare for steep inclines!

🔭The Dish itself is a radio telescope that is still in use. Other research and teaching programs also use the dish area

🥾The Dish is a popular area for hiking and jogging (🚨 no dogs or bikes allowed) and is open to the public from approximately sunrise to sunset throughout the year:

January: 6:30am - 5:00pm 

February: 6:30am - 5:30pm

March: 6:00am - 6:30pm
