Note:  The Spaghetti Bowl trails are between the north side of the Sam Tobias Campground and the surrounding built up areas of Ruidoso.  They may have begun as informal trails, some following old logging roads.  Since about 2100, there has been intensive thinning of the forest in this area in order to minimize fire danger to the surrounding areas.  As of the end of 2013 the thinning seems to be ending.  There is a lot of forest debris, which will decay in the next few years.  It is likely that , with the thinning ending, the Forest Service will work on improving the trails and providing signage.

Even without signage, you should not get seriously lost.  Head downhill and you will come to the Sam Tobias campground along Cedar Creek Road.
