Panorama Trail runs along ridgelines above Palo Alto with wide vistas of the Bay, rolling grasslands, oak woodlands and seasonal wildflowers. Best photographed at golden hour for soft side-light and color. Trailhead parking on Coyote Trail; moderate uphill sections; bring water and layered clothing. Weekday mornings reduce crowds. No special permits normally required — confirm local parking rules before visiting.
