Parked at closed bridge (impassable by car/no problem on foot) 0.6 from rt. 3. The nice thing about this hike was that all roads were exactly as they seemed to appear on the quad. I walked Meridan hill road for a few tenths to an intersection (this will be drivable with the new bridge). The main road goes left over a one-lane bridge, I went right up a gated road (locked). I followed this several tenths to a rough road that heads uphill (shown on quad). There is a major washout towards the beginning. I followed this to 1900ft. (according to map) and bushwhacked to teapot. Very steep, a little thick in places, but not bad. Snowshoes are a must, but the snow was perfect for bushwhacking. |
