mule path
Narrow cargo route
A mule path is a narrow trail suited to pack animals rather than wheeled vehicles, typically winding through mountainous or rough terrain.
Such paths were historically carved by mules carrying goods where roads couldn't reach: The old mule path climbed steeply through the canyon.
The term evokes remote, rugged routes—often now hiking trails.
