bushwalkers
Wilderness trail enthusiasts
Bushwalkers are people who hike through wild or uncultivated terrain, particularly in Australia where the term originated.
The word reflects Australian landscape—bush meaning rural or forested areas away from cities.
The bushwalkers set out at dawn to explore the national park.
The activity itself is bushwalking.
