day hikers
Short-distance trail walkers
Day hikers are people who hike trails without camping overnight—out in the morning, back by evening.
The term distinguishes casual trail users from backpackers who carry gear for multi-day wilderness trips.
The trailhead parking lot was full of day hikers by 9 a.m.
