    Easy trail with gentle changes in elevation. Refreshing to gain perspective on the surroundings and wonder about all the exchanges of information going on among those satellites!!  more »

    Going to the Stanford Dish is a good bike ride/ hike. Beautiful views from the hill. The dish can be accessed by bike up to a certain point then a walk uphill .  more »
