I no longer wonder why they call this the Stanford Dish.

It’s great for hill workouts

I really dig the naturescape.

Cows!

Squirrels!

…and satellite dishes.

Hey, see that tower in the background? That’s Stanford. Ran into a couple of Stanford track athletes doing hill workouts

Highly recommend this run. It consists of a series of loops so you can make it as long or short as you like. I got 8 miles in today!

As far as I could tell it’s for walkers and joggers only. Just note, parking’s a bit of bitch (above is a shot of Stanford Ave just off Junipero Sierra Blvd and where most park) but hey, it’s free. There are no facilities, barely any shade, and no cell reception. But entrances are secured and staffed by Stanford. Oh, and watch out for the cow pies.
