Atmore Meadows is an easy out-and-back hike in the Los Angeles Gateway Ranger District of Angeles National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about 2.5 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 740 feet, taking you from a low point of about 4,394 feet to a high of about 5,075 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sandberg, CA, show May highs around 70°F and October highs around 71°F, while July and August average highs near 88°F. That station sits about 565 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the ridge run a little cooler. The trail is on natural surface and allows both horses and bikes. It stays open year-round, and the closest neighbors are Fish Canyon Trail, about 0.2 miles away, and Gillette Mine, about 0.6 miles away. For an overnight stay, Bear campground is about 2.3 miles off, and Castaic Creek offers canoeing about 4.9 miles away.
