Connecting the Stanford community
The 3.4-mile Stanford Perimeter Trail stretches from Junipero Serra Boulevard to Quarry Road. Hugging the campus on the south and east, it is part of a set of regional biking and hiking trails designed to connect recreational areas in the foothills to those in the Palo Alto Baylands. It also provides a safer school commute for students at three K-12 campuses along the route.
