hiking path
Outdoor walking route
A hiking path is a trail through natural terrain intended for walking, typically in parks, forests, or wilderness areas.
The term emphasizes recreational foot travel rather than utility—you wouldn't call a sidewalk a hiking path.
The hiking path wound through the canyon for six miles.
