Location and Place

The location of Mount cardigan is :43.64.71. and Mount Cardigan is a bare-rock summit in the town of Orange and Alexandria in western NH. Its peak is only 3,155 feet above sea level. It has little areas of bare granite ledges and alpine scrub, giving it the feel to hikers of a much higher mountain. Most of the summit area was denuded by devastating forest fires in 1855. The mountain is in the 5,000-acre Cardigan Mountain State Forest. The Cardigan Lodge is used by the Appalachian Mountain Club since 1934 and is located to the east at the foot of the mountain and is often used as a base for day hikes in and around the mountain.
