One of the few perennially-flowing springs in the Sandias. The spring is not accessible by vehicle. The closest parking spot is on FR299 (Forest Road) / Cole Springs Road north of Cedar Crest at the bottom of the Cañoncito Trail. (from I-40, go 3.5 miles north on NM-14 to Cole Springs Road) The spring is about 100 feet east on the Cañoncito Trail from the point where it intersects with the Faulty Trail. No pipe, water must be collected from the pool. Not tested, to my knowledge.
