mountain hike
Uphill wilderness walk
A mountain hike is a recreational walk through mountainous terrain, typically on trails that involve significant elevation changes.
The term implies more challenge than ordinary hiking—steeper grades, rougher footing, and often dramatic scenery as reward: We did a mountain hike up to the alpine lakes.
Duration ranges from a few hours to multi-day treks.
