goat track
Narrow steep trail
A goat track is a narrow, rough path—the kind a goat might pick its way along on a mountainside.
The term describes any trail that's barely there: steep, rocky, winding, and often precarious.
In Australian and New Zealand English especially, it extends to poorly maintained roads: We drove for miles on some goat track through the bush.
