Mt. Ciel

Mount Ciel is a tall mountain located in the province of Cielian Heights in the nation of Ator People. This giant mountain towers over the island of Ator People at 12,534 feet. Here people hike, drive, mine, and travel on the rivers.

The Peaks

There are four main peaks in the Mount Ciel mountain range. They are Mt. Ciel, Mt. Henry, Mt. Ator, and Mt. Andrew.

Ciel

Mt. Ciel is the tallest of the peaks, at 12,534 feet. It has five main hiking trails, an automobiel trail, and a bicycle trail. The Red Trail, Blue Trail, Yellow Trail, Quartz Trail, Tropical Trail, and River Trail are the hiking trails.


The Red Trail

This is by far the easiest of the walking trails, and though it is very long, it is not very steep and can be completed by anyone from age 10 and up. It can, however, take close to a whole day to hike the whole trail up and down, so hikers are not allowed to begin hiking on this trail past noon unless they are physically fit and have hiked the trail before.

The Blue Trail

This is a slightly more difficult trail than the Red Trail. It has some bumpy climbs and may take a more physically able person to climb it. The Blue Trail is about as long as the red trail, though it goes through a steeper area. Since it is just as long, hikers are not allowed to begin hiking past noon here either, unless they are physically fit and have hiked the trail before. The mountain is 12,000 feet tall, and is a source of many natural minerals which are mined and sold. Countless trails lead up to the summit of the mountain, though only a few are marked. The Red Trail, Blue Trail, Yellow Trail, Quartz Trail, Tropical Trail, and River Trail are the most common. There are also two paved trails, one for automobiles and one for bicycles. A monorail also goes up the mountain, though not to the summit of Mt. Ciel. Numerous peaks surround the mountain, some reaching 4000 feet. They're names are Mt. Henry (2700 ft), Mt. Ator (6040 ft), and Mt. Andrew (3100 ft).
