What is the main setting described in this passage? Fernando enjoyed the smell of the pine trees as he was hiking. He saw a squirrel run up a tree and out onto a branch. He also saw a deer bouncing through a stream
He is in a forest/woods, and he is seeing the deer in the stream and the squirrel on a branch. So he'd be in a rural mid-western type of place that is cool enough to be having the smell of pine and wildlife out during the day so somewhere away from big cities.
