Walton Falls

Cardigan Mountain is located In Alexandria New Hampshire. Its neighboring towns are Bristol (south) and Orange. Mount Cardigan is located at 43 degrees 38.998 minutes north, 71 degrees 54.864 minutes west.

When you stand on the top of mount Cardigan you can see for miles and miles. The mountain has a bald peak due to a fire about 180 years ago in the 1800’s which gives you the spectacular view. There are both deciduous and coniferous trees which get smaller and bent as you get higher in elevation.

I learned many things on this trip but here are just a couple of them. I realized that when you go on a hike if you slow down just a little you will notice many interesting things, like maybe MUSHROOMS or a strange BUG. When you want to have an awesome hiking experience you want to wear the right clothes, such as synthetic materials.
