First, we began by trekking through the deciduous region on the steep ascent to Firescrew. There were countless oak , ash, birch, and maple trees which are all classified as Northern Hardwood Zone by the characteristic of the types of trees. After traveling awhile more, we came across another region, the Boreal Zone. This housed the majority of pine, hemlock and spruce. These trees took up the majority of land in the area, until it grew too barren for large trees. Then, we trudged up the extremely steep rock face of Firescrew, where the trees were basically shrubs and bushes. This was the Alpine Zone. From there, we traveled to Cardigan Peak and then back down, passing through each area harboring a different type of forest. If you could not tell already, this was region, the theme of geography for 2 reasons. One reason was the woodland zones. These, of course, differed by the types of trees that housed. Another region example was Mount Cardigan and Firescrew Mountain. These had definite borders, where you had to take one path to another mountain, sort of establishing no man's land. But, that was still a border. So, that is an example of the geography theme region and what we did on the second day. Out of Cardigan mountain, there are also lots of regions too. Cardigan is on the border of the two regions Orange, NH and Alexandria, NH. These are in the region Grafton, which is in the region New Hampshire, which is in the region New England, which is in the region the East Coast. This is also in the region Continental USA, which is in the region USA, which is in the region North America, which is in the region The Americas, which is a region of the world. Quite a handful, am I right?
