mule trails
Mountain cargo paths
Mule trails are paths through rough or mountainous terrain designed for travel by mule—narrow, often steep routes where the sure-footed animals can navigate where horses and vehicles cannot.
Many remain from mining and military operations in the American West.
Some have become hiking trails: We hiked the old mule trail down into the canyon.
