OSM Way
Keystone is one of the original singletrack trails on Galbraith, dating back to the dawn of mountain biking. A bi-directional trail, with a tendency to be ridden down more than up. Last logged in the mid-2010s so the tree coverage is good.
If riding down, access the start of Keystone across from Wonderland at Road 4000. A little ways in you'll come upon Devilcross and then go across Road 4000 Spur. Next up are the two unsigned (south and north) endpoints of Original Keystone which can be used as an optional, shorter route. Go across the Freedom Bridge and hit the intersection at Happy Hour which can be a little confusing, but to stay on Keystone go straight. The end of Keystone is at the next road (Return from Devilcross) where Vitamin R continues your downhill run.
If your goal is to use Keystone as your climb to the Towers, it is common to get to the Happy Hour intersection on Bottle Opener, crossing the Freedom Bridge, and continuing upward until you reach Wonderland.
