Keystone is one of the original singletrack trails on Galbraith, dating back to the dawn of mountain biking. Probably originally created by motos, it was mostly clear cut a few years ago and re-routed and completely rebuilt - including an awesome bridge across the gorge at the bottom. Most people ride Keystone down hill and connect with Bottle Opener to access Oly or Keiser trails, although it rides uphill well and will put you out at the bottom of Wonderland if the goal is to climb to the Towers on singletrack.
