A keyhole is where the trail passes a certain point, makes a loop (or perhaps 
and out-and-back), and then passes by that certain point again.  For example - 
the trail might go through a gate, make a loop, then come back out that same 
gate and contine on.  Most RMs make sure to tell riders about keyholes at the 
ride briefing, and have them well marked on trail. Because keyholes are a good 
place for riders to cut trail (nearly always accidentally, but could be 
deliberate), RMs will often have spotters to check off rider numbers, a grease 
pen somewhere on the keyhole to mark one's horse, or some other way for a rider 
to prove that they did indeed do the keyhole.
