The popular Stanford 'Dish' trail will close on Saturday, July 29, and remain closed through Saturday, Aug. 12, Stanford University announced on its website.
Crews will be conducting summer maintenance during those days. The trail is scheduled to reopen on Sunday, Aug. 13.
Coyotes have also recently been active in the area, so visitors should be mindful of their surroundings, the university stated.
According to the National Park Service, if a coyote approaches you or if you feel threatened, "act big and loud, wave your arms, yell, and clap your hands until the animal retreats. Maintain eye contact." In addition, draw small children toward you.
Any sightings of coyotes should be reported to the Stanford University Public Safety Office at 650-724-7441.
Public access to the trail is from 6 a.m.-7:30 p.m.
