To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The rocks are hard rough sandstone, with a slaty or a peculiar pebbly fracture. The trail so far was scarcely worthy of the bad name travellers had given to it, and we began to imagine that the remaining fifteen miles to the Yellow Head Pass could be made before nightfall. Moberly quietly said that it was a fond imagination, and that if the next five miles were got over by dark he would be satisfied, as it had taken him a whole day to make seven miles on his way down. Myette has such unpretendi...ng portals, 246 OCEAN TO OCEAN. especially when compared with the magnificent ranges about the Athabasca, it's current is so quiet near the mouth, and the valley so short that no one would forecast any formidable diffi- culties, in ascending it to the Pass. But the afternoon proved that the valley is worthy of its old name Caledonian, if the name was meant to suggest the thistle or the " wha' daur meddle wi* me!" The Myette has a wonderful volume of water for its short course. It rushes down a narrow valley fed at every corner by foaming fells from the hill-sides, and by several large tributaries.
