backpacking route

Wilderness travel path

A backpacking route is a planned path for multi-day hiking trips where travelers carry all their gear.

Routes may follow established trails or connect segments across wilderness areas: We mapped out a backpacking route through the Sierras.

The term also applies to budget travel itineraries linking destinations by cheap transport: a backpacking route through Southeast Asia.
