What reading level is Out of Door Studies in Geography: a Study of the Sierra Nevada book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the writer saw it during the latter part of July, the snowfields ex- tended down to the lake both on the north and the south, and the trail was covered to a depth of 8 or 10 feet.
The summit of the pass is just at timber line, as a few scattered white- barked pines bear evidence. They are dwarfed and crushed out of all resem- blance to trees by the mass of snow which lies upon them during winter.
A short distance east of the lake, the level stretch comes to an end and the trail enters a de...ep, dark gorge which plunges downward at so steep an angle as to seem impassable. This gorge is Bloody Canyon, so named be- cause no animal passes up or down the trail which leads through it without receiving wounds on the legs and leav- ing the sharp rocks stained with blood.
Mono Pass has been used for many years by the Digger and Piute Indians on their way to and from Yosemite Valley and the foot-hills on the west- ern slope, where they made annual journeys to fish and gather acorns.
It is now used by white men more than any other pass through the Sierra, be- cause it is the shortest and most direct route between the Mono Region and the California Valley.
