(submitted by Jim Lofthouse) Description: Meridian Road, as roads go, is rather short. You can access the north end of it from Highway 101 and 2400 West. The South end ends in McMurdy Hollow. The road lies on the Salt Lake Meridian, hence the name. It is 2400 West, counted from Main and Center in Logan... The area has wetlands, ponds, riparian habitat, The Little Bear River, agricultural lands, sagebrush, mountain meadows and the lake at Hyrum Dam... Directions: Beginning at Hwy 101 going south, you will cross
over the little Bear River, then through some agriculture lands, and come to the
Mt Sterling road at 6600 South. If you hang a right here you will soon be at the
Hyrum Dam. Continue on south and you will go up a
good incline to the summit where there is a grand panorama of the valley.
Continue on down the other side, and now you are in McMurdy Hollow. Go eastward
here and you will cross the Little Bear River, and come to Paradise. If you went
west instead, you would be on the Pisguah road and eventually come out just
below the summit of Wellsville Canyon. Don't do this for at least another month.
The road still has snow on it and is bad muddy if wet. When you get to Paradise
you can go North on 400 West and take the back road to Hyrum and the Hyrum Dam.
