backcountry trail
Remote hiking route
A backcountry trail is a path through remote, undeveloped wilderness areas, typically far from roads, facilities, and easy access.
These trails require more preparation and self-sufficiency than front-country routes: The backcountry trail climbed twelve miles into roadless forest.
Hikers on backcountry trails often carry all supplies and may camp overnight in primitive conditions.
