mountain trail
Steep hiking path
A mountain trail is a path through mountainous terrain, typically used for hiking, climbing, or backcountry travel.
These trails range from well-maintained routes with switchbacks and markers to rugged paths requiring scrambling over rocks and roots.
The mountain trail gained two thousand feet in elevation over three miles.
Unlike paved roads, mountain trails follow the natural contours of the landscape.
