hiking trails

Wilderness walking routes

Hiking trails are paths through natural areas designated for walking, often through forests, mountains, or parks.

They range from easy, well-maintained routes to rugged backcountry paths requiring experience and preparation.

Trail markers, blazes, or signs typically guide hikers along the route.

The hiking trails in this park cover over fifty miles.

We spent the morning exploring hiking trails near the lake.
