Trail Donkey Boy
This probably should be a one way trail (towards Kleeway).

I was hoping to use this to duck out to Cardiac Bypass but some locals set us straight that just riding down Kleeway would be safer, more fun, and not much further than going down Donkey Boy as a shortcut.

As a newish rider (10 months in), I thought this trail was a fun challenge and great for working on your switchback maneuvering, balancing a narrow trail, and slow riding. Got a good workout!

The drop at the bottom of Hidden is undergoing restoration. Be prepared for changes in June.

Trail 101 Kleeway
I appreciate that it’s there, but Kleeway is just too damn flat to actually serve it’s intended purpose as a jump trail, even with no braking and hard p dealing between hits, it’s very, very hard to clear these jumps

Bumped into a momma bear and two cubs at the very top, once out of the clearing in in the trees. They darted off, then stopped and watched me. She was curious standing on both legs, while her two cubs ran up trees. I walked backwards slowly, until out of sight and then booked it out of there. FYI.

I'll echo others, it's a blue trail for difficulty. If you're not in the best shape, or slogging an enduro sled up it, it will feel like a black trail. It's surprisingly good for a climbing trail and worth it to get access to other trails.

First time I road this, I had to dab a foot down around many of the lower switchbacks. The trail and turns are pretty narrow (worse near the first half or so. The upper half, for me, was more enjoyable. As an intermediate rider, I'd call this a tough blue, only due to the tightness of the trail. It's the type of trail that makes a good litmus test, in that every few rides you should be able to ride more and more of rh wwirdhbacks easier. I look forward to the next atrempt.

My first time doing this (did it twice) It's marked black, but there is like nothing technical on it except for the switch backs which are tight but really doable. I thought it would be a lot more challenging. Definitely a blue not black. It fun enough, so totally do it! As I say, I did it twice back to back.

Definitely not a black diamond trail. Blue would be a more appropriate rating for this (GP and BMS too)

I really enjoyed this trail, which surprised me because the description was a bit intimidating. I'm an intermediate rider, and 61 years old -- I didn't set any speed records going up. The trail surface is smooth, no technical roots or rock gardens, and it's not so steep as to cause wheelies on the way up. It's just a nice good climb.

Trail 101 Kleeway
101 Kleeway IS the absolute golden trail for the average enthusiast and rider to zip down! Forget the trails above it that are maybe above your head, this IS the trail to go lap over and over again to build your skill and confidence!

Low enough to ride up too after work for most riders and avoid any shuttling, this trail is a gem of building sized berms and perfectly sized jumps for the normal human being crowd!

This was a fun trail if you love steep and technical. if you are riding with a group be sure to leave ample space between riders because it will get very dusty quick.
