Cultural Geography!

There are many examples of cultural geography at Cardigan. Cardigan Mountain has many awesome trails, all over the place. The AMC lodge also has good food, we had spaghetti, burgers, corn, and salad. But that was just for dinner! Everyone at Cardigan spoke English, though some probably knew a few words from another language. That is about all of the cultural geography of Cardigan.

Physical Geography!

Cardigan has many examples of physical geography. One, is Cardigan Mountain. It is huge with roughly a 3,145 foot summit and that summit is bare rock. There are many trees all over the mountain and around the lodge. Not to mention the rivers. There are tons, many along the trail to Welton Falls. One even creates Welton Falls.That is about all of the physical geography of Cardigan.

We were at Cardigan for three days, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
