hikable

Passable on foot

Hikable describes terrain or trails suitable for hiking—passable on foot without specialized climbing equipment.

A hikable path may be challenging but remains accessible to reasonably fit walkers: The ridge looks steep but it's definitely hikable.

The word often appears in trail guides and outdoor planning: We found a hikable route to the summit.
