Long Meadow is a hard hike in California's Sequoia National Forest, within the Western Divide Ranger District and the Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest. The State Department of Natural Resources manages the land, and the route is about 12.4 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 2,925 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. The climb starts at about 6,490 feet and reaches a high point of 9,321 feet.
