What reading level is Colorado the Magnificent book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then a carriage road was made to the summit, and to go by this road, either by carriage or on horseback, was for some years the only way of reaching one of the highest accessible elevations known to travelers. But since 1891 there is a railway, known as the "Cog- Road, " that climbs to the summit and as easily returns. It is eight and three-quarters miles in length, and in this distance climbs to a height of 14, 147 feet above sea-level. It is a costly and absolutely secure structure, and there... is a special feature in the cog-rail between the tracks which alone weighs a hundred and ten tons to the mile. At intervals the track is anchored by heavy masonry. Brakes are so contrived that a train can be stopped on any grade of the line within a dis- tance of ten inches. The cars and engines stand at an angle with the tracks, but the seats are level. The engine does not draw the train, but pushes it. One does not often get so high in the world as this, and the sights and experiences of this little journey above the world are not to be described in words.
