To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In ruggedness and sheer grandeur it probably surpasses the Alps, although geologi- cally it is markedly different. Here the Rockies are wondrously sculptured by gigantic glaciers of the long ago. They are gorgeously colored above timberline by strata of red, green, and yellow limestone. Peaks quaintly named by the Black- feet Indians rear their heads two miles above sea level, the whole region extending northward to the Canadian border, and westward to the Flathead River. So much for geography,... as for geology: now for descriptive narrative. 94 GOING ABROAD OVERLAND How far we were from home, at what a unique point we had arrived, how strikingly East and West here come face to face, how sharply Occident meets Orient, how here the frozen North and plain- swept South both overlap, and how the Fin de Steele meets the very Ancient of Days, was well illustrated in the strange admixture at the entrance on arrival. For both natural and artificial fea- tures, both the works of Nature and of man in taming nature, combine to accentuate these contrasts.
