jeep trail
Rugged vehicle route
A jeep trail is an unpaved road or path rough enough to require a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
These trails typically feature rocks, ruts, steep grades, or stream crossings that would defeat ordinary cars: We took the jeep trail up to the abandoned mine.
The term appears in hiking guides and on maps to indicate primitive roads, whether or not actual Jeeps use them.
