MT Cardigan Location

At the start of the trip when we were ready for the trail the latitude was N 43 13 49.5 and the longitude was W 71 33 12.8 and at the top of the summit of firescrue was N 43 39 and longitude was W 71 24.

Place

When we started the trip the path way was much bigger than the other trail we were on before, you could fit a bus through the trail thats how big it was. The trees when we started the trip were distiguous then when we got higher up the mountain and got into the boreal zone there was bigger rocks and more rocks but still the same amount of distiguous trees then again as we were going up the mountain into the alpine zone there was a lot less distiguous trees and a lot more rocks and started to see a lot of coniferous trees then when we got to the top of firescrue it was a little harder to breath because we were tired and the pressure was high and really windy because of how high we are and there was only coniferous and coniferous trees are not tall so we kept on feeling the breeze and when you looked over the view it was very very cold and windy but when you took one step back it was a little warmer and felt less of a breeze then when we only went to the firescrue summit not cardigan summit the cardigan summit looked like only the mountain and no trees at all and sense it was higher than the firescrue summit it must of been at least 2x the wind and 3 degrees colder just because of the height of the mountain.

We were at Cardigan lodge for 3 days, Wednesday October 2, Thursday October 3, and Friday October 4 2019.
