To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The scramble is for 850 feet. From below, there is such a change from the point of inspection, that the treat is entirely new. Here the opposite wall, black and frowning, is over a thousand feet sheer. A thousand feet means more in such a place than two thousand among the mountains. The vaulted dome is near by. It is made by the throwing to- gether of huge rocks. It is a conical chamber 175 feet in height, and with an atmosphere cooling as a draught from the fountain. From the top there is a st...eady sprinkle of water — a shower-bath which, falling year after year, has worn a hollow, known as Diana's Bath. Surely a goddess could covet no place more charming. The water fills this to overflowing. It is nearly ice cold. Drink, it freely. It is nectar. The sides of the chamber are wet, and green with moss. High out of reach are brilliant festoons of flowers growing from the rock. It is an ideal place to lunch, and in itself a won- der. It is now time to go back, re-cross the river, or row up to Twin Falls.
