mule trail
Narrow mountain path
A mule trail is a narrow path through rugged terrain, originally established for pack mules carrying supplies to remote areas.
These trails wind through mountains, canyons, and wilderness where wider roads can't reach: We hiked the old mule trail down into the canyon.
Many historic mule trails now serve as hiking paths.
