Bell Hill is the steepest because it rises 2/3 foot for every 1 foot of horizontal travel. This means that for every 1 foot of horizontal distance, the vertical rise is 2/3 of a foot. This is steeper than Dixie Hill, which rises 1 foot for every 3 feet of horizontal travel, and Liberty Hill, which rises 2 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal travel.
