What reading level is In the Rocky Mountains book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We soon found that we had got into a region subject to violent volcanicaction, and were compelled to turn aside to avoid a wide space full ofponds, the intervals between which were covered with a crust ofbrimstone. I attempted to reach one of the ponds, but had not gone farwhen the point of my pole went through the crust, and up bubbled aquantity of black slime. On touching it, and finding it scalding hot, Ishouted to my companions, who were behind, not to venture on thetreacherous ground. A ho...rror seized me, and every instant I feared thatI should break through the surface. Should that take place, what adreadful fate would be mine! I hastened back, stepping cautiously, asif moving over ice too thin to bear my weight; and very thankful I waswhen I once more got on hard ground.
Still further on, as we proceeded down the valley, we saw vapour risingfrom numerous fissures in the hill-sides. Around these vents quantitiesof sulphur had been deposited. But the most curious objects were basinsof all sizes, nearly circular, of which there were great numbers--formed, apparently, by the lime contained in the hot springs.
