hidden path

Concealed trail through

A hidden path is a route not immediately visible or commonly known—concealed by vegetation, obscured from maps, or simply overlooked.

The term often carries connotations of discovery or secret knowledge: We found a hidden path through the woods.

Figuratively, it suggests an unconventional approach or overlooked option: There's always a hidden path to success if you look hard enough.
