cross-country routes
Coast-to-coast highways
Cross-country routes are paths that traverse open terrain rather than following established roads or trails.
The term applies to skiing, running, or hiking courses that cut across natural landscape: The cross-country routes through the national forest offer stunning views.
In aviation and logistics, cross-country routes span long distances between distant points, often crossing multiple regions or states.
