Sweating Up Green Hills to Gain Perspective in Palo Alto, California
Thick woods west, San Francisco skyscrapers peeking up north, and the city's famous bay striping the east, the views from an extraordinarily accessible loop hike, popularly known as “The Dish,” keep it varied and exciting—even if it's your hundredth time climbing its paved path. Named for the enormous working radio telescope looming over its western stretch, The Dish is a favorite challenge for runners, fun meeting place for parents with strollers, or a gorgeous workout for anyone looking for an hour’s walk. A steep climb begins the trek, but fear not: the rest is rolling hills and rewarding 360 degrees of colors—green to golden—and sheer open space for (sweaty) bird’s eye perspective.
