The Dish, or the Stanford Dish, is a huge, 150-foot-diameter radio antenna. Built in 1961 by the Stanford Research Institute, it is still in use by the university today and is a popular hiking destination. In addition to views of the Stanford Dish, you also get panoramic views of the surrounding foothills and, on clear days, the San Francisco skyline. The area is known for its wildlife, including various bird species, so be on the lookout as you explore The Dish.
