Description
South Faulty begins at the end of Bill Spring Trail. After a few hundred feet, Oso Corredor Trail heads west and South Faulty continues south.
The trail contours along the steep mountainside with rocky sections, but only a couple of rocky steps. Eventually, the trail hits the wilderness boundary and continues south to the junction with South Sandia Crest Trail (#130).
