However , for those willing to exert the energy , the reward is a short route to the summit of Hunter Mountain with it 's spectacular views . Not far from Canberra towards the high mountains , it occurs in forest hollows , near tree ferns and luxuriant mosses , reaching 5 m. The cold of these regions is more intense than I ever remember to have experienced , not excepting even in Lower Canada ; and when a northerly wind sweeps over the bleak and barren plains , charged as it is with its icy reinforcements from the snow-clad mountains , it assails the unfortunate traveller , exposed to all its violence , with blood-freezing blasts , piercing to his very heart and bones . West of the mountains , it occurs from extreme southern Michigan and Wisconsin , west to southeastern Nebraska and south through eastern and southern Texas . Nestled in the depth and tranquility of mountains , it provides bathing experience in total relaxation with clear streams in the background . Arcadia CA is tucked up against San Gabriel Mountains and it advertises its Average Summer High Temperature as 89.2 degrees , however , Saturdays temperature was 106 degress with a heat index that made it feel like 114 degrees .
