Dwight Crowder Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This mostly paved bike trail alongside Alpine Road is great for bike commuting — just don't run over any slower trail users! The trail runs all the way from Portola Valley to Stanford, offering some nice shade along the way. The brief moments of unpaved trail are near the Portola Valley end.

Rossotti's Alpine Inn

Highlight • Pub

This fantastic tavern, founded in 1852, is the second oldest in the state. It features a large, beer garden-style outdoor area with plenty of shade. An extensive beer and food menu makes it a perfect stop to enjoy a brew and some great food after a ride.

Enid Pearson–Arastradero Preserve

Highlight • Trail

Enid Pearson-Arastradero Preserve offers rolling grasslands mixed with oak and evergreen trees. The trail system starts on pavement and transitions to packed dirt and gravel—great for bikes with wider tires or a solid gravel setup. Keep an eye out for deer, coyotes, and even bobcats, and take a moment to pause at one of the benches or by Arastradero Lake to enjoy the open views.

Alpine Road Trailhead, Stanford Dish Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Stanford Dish Trail parking area off Alpine Road (near Piers Lane and just west of Junipero Serra Boulevard) serves as a quieter but still well-used western entrance to the Dish hiking area. This access point offers a small parking lot and connects directly to the Dish loop’s rolling, paved trails.

From here, you’ll begin with a gentle incline through open hillsides, quickly gaining elevation and views of the Santa Cruz Mountains. It’s a scenic entry with fewer crowds than the main Stanford Avenue gate. Like the rest of the Dish area, it’s open only to walkers, runners, and hikers—no dogs, no bikes. Come prepared for sun exposure and some steep grades.
