Cañoncito starts at Faulty at a distinctive landmark consisting of a twisty curvy tree. It is believed this was done intentionally to point to the Cañoncito spring. As you head down, watch carefully for a trail on the right leading to the spring which runs all year. This small area is beautiful. Cañoncito down narrow, sometimes steep corridor to meet with the interesection of Elk Track. Most people return via Elk Track. Continuing down it eventually meets with Cole Springs Rd. Following this road leads to a picnic area and another wonderful year round little spring with running water. Because of its remoteness, it is not as well traveled.
