NOTES:  No vehicles of any kind are permitted, including bicycles.  Dogs are not allowed.  

 DESCRIPTION:  This is signed as a Fitness Trail. Quoting from the original trailhead sign that is now gone:

“The trail offers a physical challenge regardless of age or conditioning and the chance to improve fitness and health while having fun.  There are 14 exercise stations along a 0.25 mile jogging path. Jog on the trail to strengthen heart, lungs, and legs. Build muscle strength by performing the exercises, or do both for all around fitness...”

 There are two loops: the inner loop, signed as 0.25 mile long, has the exercise stations; the outer loop, signed as 1.3 mile long, is designed for jogging or walking.  The sign kiosk at the start of T90  has a good map of the trails in the area.


ACCESS:  In Ruidoso at Smokey Bear Ranger District Office, turn left off Mechem Drive ( NM48) onto Cedar Creek Road (FR88). The parking lot for the trail is on the left in 0.2 mile.    

There is also access at the northwest end of  T90, 0.8 miles from the intersection of  Mechem Drive and Cedar Creek Road, just across Cedar Creek Road from the Sam Tobias campground.
