Are dogs allowed?
Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome; owners are expected to pick up after their pets.

What will I see along the Hike routes?
Summertime at Keystone Resort means you'll see wildflowers and pass by babbling brooks; you may catch a glimpse of marmots, deer, birds or other wildlife.  View photos of past Hike MS events on our Flickr page.
