{CAUTION:

Many hills are simply too steep for any

vehicle. If you drive up them, you will stall.

If you drive down them, you cannot control

your speed. If you drive across them, you

will roll over. You could be seriously

injured or killed. If you have any doubt

about the steepness, do not drive the hill.

Approaching a Hill

When you approach a hill, you need to decide

if it is one of those hills that is just too steep

to climb, descend, or cross. Steepness can be

hard to judge. On a very small hill, for example,

there may be a smooth, constant incline with

only a small change in elevation where you can

easily see all the way to the top. On a large

hill, the incline may get steeper as you near the

top, but you may not see this because the crest

of the hill is hidden by bushes, grass, or shrubs.

Here are some other things to consider as you

approach a hill.

• Is there a constant incline, or does the hill get

sharply steeper in places?

• Is there good traction on the hillside, or will

the surface cause tire slipping?

• Is there a straight path up or down the hill so

you will not have to make turning maneuvers?

• Are there obstructions on the hill that can

block your path, such as boulders, trees,

logs, or ruts?

• What is beyond the hill? Is there a cliff, an

embankment, a drop-off, a fence? Get out

and walk the hill if you do not know. It is the

smart way to ﬁnd out.

• Is the hill simply too rough? Steep hills often

have ruts, gullies, troughs, and exposed

rocks because they are more susceptible to

the effects of erosion.
