Mt. Lowe is a Forest Service campground in the Los Angeles Gateway Ranger District of Angeles National Forest in California. It sits within the Angeles National Forest, and the land is managed by the Forest Service. No fees are required to use the site. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Pasadena show April highs around 76°F and October highs around 83°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. That station sits well below the campground, so temperatures at the site run cooler. The Merrill (Upper) and Mt Lowe (West) hikes both start about 0.1 mile away. Idlehour and Millard campgrounds are each about 2 miles off.
