| We took another shot at the hill again. We don't know if it was the fact that it was a relatively dry summer or the dynamically shifting rock, gravel and clay that makes up the hill but we conquered the hill. All of us. The Land Cruiser never really had a problem with it's locking differentials. Glenn's CJ7, even though he had never ran the hill before, didn't expect to have a problem since he had a locker in the rear. However I must say I had my doubts. Remembering the effort I had put into ascending this hill earlier in the year and only getting 1/3 of the way up I was surprised to put this hell hill behind me. |  We are looking back down the valley at Wilkes Barre. Behind us is the hell hill as it has become known. |

| If you are considering a trip to the hell hill you will find much more that just a hill. You can easily make a day out of exploring these highlands above Wilkes-Barre and the local small towns. We are just beginning to expand our knowledge of the local offroad terrain. There are several other natural challenges back beyond the hill not to mention several very scenic trails as well as some dangers so as always, be cautious. Also the area is full of old remnants of days past with shells of old buildings, tunnels, water channels, railroad trails and sometimes very old industrial equipment. It's an interesting area to say the least. | |||||||
