Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve

Reviewed By Visit100Countries - San Francisco, United States

Real awesome hidden spot that not many people now about. Great place for a walk, run and watching birds, sunsets, Mountain, and just be in nature. Feels so remote yet it is walkable from Mountain View or Palo Alto. Keep it clean and quiet please.
