happy trails

Cheerful parting words

Happy trails is a friendly farewell wishing someone a good journey, whether literal or figurative.

The phrase comes from the 1952 Roy Rogers song and carries a warm, slightly old-fashioned or whimsical tone: Happy trails, and thanks for visiting!

It works equally well for someone leaving on a trip or simply heading home after a party.
