Devils Hill

Devils Hill offers 4WD enthusiasts a thrilling short burst of genuine challenge near Wellington Forest. Don't let the modest 0.9 km length fool you—you'll encounter a demanding 17% grade that'll test your vehicle's capability and your nerve in quick succession. This punchy little trail packs serious elevation into minimal distance, making it perfect for drivers who want to experience real terrain without committing hours to their adventure.

The landscape here is characteristically Western Australian bush country, with native vegetation framing a rocky, rutted climbing route. You'll navigate through loose terrain that demands precise throttle control and good line selection as you ascend. The steep gradient means traction becomes your best friend, and proper tire pressure setup is essential before you attempt this one. The short duration means recovery time is minimal if you need to make a second attempt, but the intensity of those few minutes demands your full attention and focus.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition and your recovery gear is onboard. The trail's steepness can catch drivers off-guard, so approach with respect rather than overconfidence. With only two vehicles having tackled Devils Hill so far, you'll be joining a select group of drivers brave enough to test themselves on Wellington Forest's most demanding short course.
