Cardigan is a place with much physical geography, some wide varieties of this could be trees, plants or even fungi. Some more specific elements of physical geography are the giant quartz rock or the alpine bog on top of Firescrew. Those are some of the obvious where as the line of dead trees and mushrooms blended in with the forest. Physical Geography is Natures creation. Thus meaning these objects were not tampered with by humans but made from nature. A great example of this is the quartz rock, partway up Firescrew Mountain.
Cardigan also has much cultural geography which is what makes it so special and different. Cultural geography is what humans have done. Some examples were the Firetower of the Lodge. While others could be cellar holes, blazers on the trails or even O.R.T. Some of the other groups were luck enough to see a helicopter on top of Cardigan, a helicopter is a great example of cultural geography.
My trip to Cardigan was over Sunday the 25, Monday the 26, and Tuesday the 27th.
