Cardigan is special and different because it had of cultural geography! For starters, the trails were made by people. Either by people walking, or wagons. It also had a few ski trails, built and used by people. Along with that, near the top, there was a small building, and at the very top, there was a firetower, which is also built and used by people. The rocky top of Cardigan was also made by humans. It used to be a forest, but it was set on fire, then when it rained, it washed down all the burnt soil and trees, and made it rocky. In different spots around the mountain your could find 2 apple trees planted near each other, these were planted and grown by people.

Cardigan also had many examples of physical geography! Like the many kinds of trees, and plants that can be found on the mountain. The weather while hiking( rainy, sunny, windy, cold). The mountain itself, if an example of physical geography! It cas naturally created. All of the animals, are also physical geography! All of these things are naturally made, or grown.
