mountain hiking
Ascending steep trails
Mountain hiking is walking for recreation or exercise on elevated terrain, typically on trails through hills or mountains.
It differs from casual walking by involving significant elevation changes and often rougher ground: We spent the weekend mountain hiking in the Rockies.
The activity ranges from gentle foothill trails to demanding alpine routes requiring endurance and proper gear.
