narrow path
Thin route through
A narrow path is a route with little room on either side, requiring careful navigation.
The phrase often carries moral or spiritual weight, evoking the biblical "strait and narrow"—the difficult but righteous way: She stayed on the narrow path despite temptation.
More literally, it describes any trail or walkway of limited width: The narrow path wound through dense forest.
