Description of Cardigan

Cardigan, is a 3,155-foot tall mountain with the top an obvious slab of rock with a smooth, hill-like appearance that contains various levels of trees. There are firs and white pines along, with the last 500-1000ft being exempt from the tree line due to a massive fire that happened. At the top, various stopping points have views of the valley along with alpine grass that adds a bit of spark to the scene.

The cultural description of Cardigan includes a fire tower that has 3 levels and offers good views of the valley. Around 1.8 miles away is a rustic lodge with lots of solar panels that has a trail that leads to an old stone building. In the opposite direction is an old car used for a ski lift that is up a meadow with lots of stone walls. There is a dirt road that leads into town and a lake in front of the lodge that has a dock. And inside there are comfortable bunks and great food to eat, that really makes the experience better. Also the camp counselars we super friendly and taught us a lot of things about the environment that was around us. It was a awesome experience
