Cultural Geography Right when you get to the AMC lodge you see a little hill and a big white building. On the hill there are lots of solar panels. There are a lot of hiking trails in that area. Most of the trails are dirt. At the top of the mountain there is a great view. There are no trees at the top of the cardigan. A long time ago there was a big fire at the top of the cardigan. People go there to explore and look at nature. There are lots of rock walls.The are a bunch of trail marks.There is also rock that has been moved for little staircases. There was a car at the top of the ski slope. Physical Geography The trails are very rocky. There are some very steep parts. There are also a couple areas with rivers that you have to crose. It is not that bumpy but every little piece of nature feels good.There is a huge waterfall going down stream. There are lots of glaciers and mushrooms on the trails decomposing the dead trees.
