forest hiking

Trail through trees

Forest hiking is walking for recreation or exercise through wooded areas, typically on established trails.

The term emphasizes the woodland setting rather than mountainous terrain: We spent the morning forest hiking through old-growth redwoods.

Forest hiking usually implies gentler grades and shadier conditions than alpine or desert hiking.
