hiking trail
Outdoor walking route
A hiking trail is a path through natural terrain designated for walking, usually marked and maintained.
Trails range from paved accessible routes to rugged backcountry paths.
The hiking trail follows the ridge for three miles before descending to the lake.
Trail difficulty is often rated by distance, elevation gain, and terrain.
