What reading level is A Tour of Americas National Parks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first impression of those around the Camp, there fore, is apt to be of shadowy forms of immense trees that seem to rise directly into the skies. Retiring to your tent, after a pleasant hour about the camp-fire, you will gaze up at the heavens and the tufted heads of the Sequoias SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK 77 will appear to be, literally, among the stars, the uppermost fronds seeming almost to touch them. The solemnity of the scene suggests the feeling of being in the transept of a great Cathedra...l, an out-of-doors sanctuary, whose largest spires reach straight up into Heaven. Something of this feeling must have been in the mind of Miss Olive Simpson when she wrote the poem that now decorates the Sher man tree, the last quatrain of which reads: "When beneath its boughs you re roaming, All sacred things seem near; The balmy breeze blows through its leaves, And whispers, God is here. " Other than the Sequoias there is little to be seen in this park at the present time. Ulti mately, it is to be hoped, the Government will enlarge the precincts to take in the similar grove now recognized officially as the General Grant National Park, and, in addition, that large mountainous tract to the north and east which embraces the King and Kern River dis tricts.
