Hoover Tower

Hoover tower is an amazing place with a fantastic atmosphere for both students and people simply looking to explore. Hoover tower in particular has a very interesting story about it. Hoover tower is a must visit if you are at stanford campus. It has an amazing view of the whole university and if the weather is clear it will be a very good idea to go anjoy the view. Bear in mind that there is an entrance fee to go to the top. The stairs in front of Stanford Memorial Auditorium building are a great spot for pictures with the tower and the fountain. The history aspect was very interesting as well. The staff were super friendly and helpful and had a ton of knowledge about the tower and its history. #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom
