Sand Hill Rd, Mountain Home Road

Stanford Linear Accelerator, what’s that? That’s science so a good educational trip. Here stands a 2 mile long accelerator. Well the atomic accelerator was a major step in atomic research. The tour is guided and takes two hours but you’ll learn a lot. Probably not for very young kids but okay for older ones.

At the end of the road is Jasper Ridge preserves. After that you have the option of driving up into the county park. The whole are there is great. A lovely place to explore and enjoy the foothills.

There is a gold course near the rosewood inn. Quadrus café is near by and pretty good but Kaygetsu Restaurant has great Japanese and fantastic sushi.
