There was t olor everyw here - red, gold, and orange. The trail r a n up over little ridges, a nd down thr oug h leve i" spots . Then , as we got hi g h er, the colors decreased and we were in a fo r es t of spruce a nd h emlock. Soon th e tr ees di sap pea red compl etely .and we reached the rock slabs w hich cove r Cardigan's top. The tower was about a thousa nd feet ahead, and the wind was bl.owing furiously. We could hardly keep from being blow n off. The view fr om the su mmit was a panorama of la kes a nd mountains stretching as fa r as La ke Winnipesaukee far to the east. Soon after, we started down and it was -o n ly a matter of minutes before we were at the bottom. There we enjoyed a wonderful m eal of hamburgers a nd salad and .after a few ga mes the bus drove us back to the campus.
