Itinerary description
The left canyon is the Little and the right is Big Painted canyon.
Enter the Little Painted Canyon [B], the canyon is mostly unmarked (don't get lost), stay on the right of the canyon most of the way.
The trail ends at a dry waterfall, scramble uphill to the right and follow the trail east.
Don't take the trail on the right but go strait on (a bit to the left). Go down into the Big Painted canyon and head right (south).
At point [J] there are 2 ladders that are easy to pass. Crossing [K] with ladder canyon to the right and reaching the end [L].
