Stanford's Radar Dish Trail is short, but gives us a wonderful early Sat. morning workout while giving us a panoramic view of the SF Bay Area and Stanford's Radar Dish facility. We will hike on this well paved road, allowing those to take photos , as necessary, but will move at a reasonable pace of 2.5 mph.
Trail: Loop Stanford Gate- Aquaduct Row: counter clock-wise\* - past Radar Dish- Stanford Gate
\* This counter-clockwise loop is much more gentle than the clock-wise loop --more gradual elevation gain....

**Driving Directions:** from 280 going North: Exit Page Mill , heading East (right turn), & immediately move & stay in the left most lane. Left turn at the first signal light that will be Junipero Serra Blvd. Drive appx. 0.2 mi, and you will see a white colored shack inside of a chained metal gate fence on your left at the intersection of Stanford Ave. The white colored shack will be the beginning of the "Dish" trail. Once you park your car, come up to this location, get inside the gate, and we will meet right next to the white guard shack...
