cross-country trail
Hiking path outdoors
A cross-country trail is a path designed for travel across open terrain rather than along roads or developed routes.
The term most often refers to trails for cross-country skiing, running, or hiking that wind through natural landscapes: The cross-country trail loops through five miles of forest.
Unlike downhill ski runs, cross-country trails follow relatively gentle terrain.
