The absolute location of the summit of Mt. Cardigan is North 43 degrees 39 minutes 4.8 seconds latitude and West 071 degrees 53 minutes 34.7 seconds longitude. The relative location of the AMC Lodge is west of the lodge is Newford lake and it is located in Alexandria, NH. It's also southwest of the AMC lodge is Folwer River and east of the lodge is Wellington Beach State Park. Also, northwest of the lodge is Nutting Beach. North of the lodge Paradise Point Nature Center, West of the AMC lodge is Orange Lake. That is some of the location at Mt. Cardigan and The AMC Lodge.

Place

A physical feature at Mt Cardigan is the weather because it is cold and windy at the summit. Also, at the summit it is a bare granite rock, and they have big overhanging rocks. When I was there it was wet and muddy. There was a place called Wellington Fall which is a waterfall. There are dead trees that fell which looked like a porcupine. There was an alpine bog that was wet and had a lot of rocks. That is some of the physical feature of Mt. Cardigan.

A cultural features at Mt. Cardigan is the trail makers and the rail at Wellington Falls that makes you not fall to your death. There was a helicopter that landed on the top of Firescrew. At the top of Cardigan there was a fire tower. Also there is the AMC lodge and the old dam. Close to the end of one of the trail there was a wooden bridge. Also there was this wooden ladder that was leaning up against a tree and my group on a picture with it.There was also graphic in the little cave. That is some of the cultural feature at Mt. Cardigan.

I was at Mt. Cardigan for 3 days Wednsday 28th, Thursday 29th, Friday 30th.
