Mount Cardigan is in the towns Orange and Alexandria New Hampshire. Cardigan is west of Newfound Lake and south of Dorchester. The top of Cardigan is at 3,155 feet elevation. Cardigan is one of the few bare rock summits in New Hampshire. This is because of the high winds at that elevation. Cardigan is at 43.6497949 degrees longitude and -71.9148048 degrees latitude.
The Physical geography of Cardigan is not very different than some parts of Hopkinton. There are many different types of trees at the base lodge but as you gain elevation the trees turn into mostly coniferous trees. There are a ton of rocks and there are many small brooks and streams. The trees are tall and old and the area has never been logged. The physical geography of cardigan is very much like Hopkinton.
At Cardigan there are hiking trails. Most of the trails are well travelled by hikers and are very worn down. There are many tree roots and rocks sticking out of the dirt. The Cardigan lodge is large with many rooms and a large grassy area. The roads are bumpy and worn.
We were at Cardigan for 3 days, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday
