national trail
Designated hiking route
A national trail is a long-distance hiking route officially designated and maintained by a government, typically traversing areas of scenic, historical, or natural significance.
In the UK, national trails like the Pennine Way receive protected status and public funding for upkeep.
The US equivalent is the national scenic trail: We hiked a section of the Appalachian Trail, a national trail spanning fourteen states.
