Description Of Cardigan PLACE - really really really good description

Physical Description

To start off the summit of Mount Cardigan is bare rock, with no trees. As you work your way down the mountain tree like maple, beech, spruces, and ash start to apare. In addition to the trees there are small rivers that run down the mountain. There were also animals like birds, squarals, chipmunks and more. This is the physical description of Cardigan Mountian.

Cultural Description

First there is a lodge at the bottom of the Mountain where everyone slept and lived for the three days that we were there. There were also rock carvings with people's names at the summit of Cardigan. There was also a ski lift and an old car that were near the mountain. This is the cultural description of Cardigan Mountian.

We are at Cardigan Mountain for three days, Sunday/Wednesday, Monday/Thursday, Tuesday/Friday.
