When we were at Cardigan Mountain, we went into many different regions, such as Welton Falls State Forest and Cardigan Mountain State Forest. The AMC lodge, where we slept, ate, and spent our free time in, was in between these two regions. On day 3 we hiked to Welton Falls, and through the state Welton Falls State Forest. The day before, we hiked through the Cardigan Mountain State Forest. These are two regions that we had hiked through on the three days we were hiking.
All of the forests that are near and on Cardigan Mountain are new forests. This is because there was a glacier over the mountain, and wiped out the forests. Because all of the forests are new, the forests could be considered a region. The area shares similar physical attributes, therefore it is a region. The summit of Cardigan could also be its own region, because at the top there are no trees, and very little vegetation. The area shares similar attributes, it is a region.
These are unfinished sketches of a stream that we stopped at during our hike to Welton Falls.
