nature hike

Trail through wilderness

A nature hike is a walk through natural surroundings—woods, trails, parks—typically for exercise, recreation, or observing wildlife and plants.

Unlike casual walks, a nature hike usually implies some distance and terrain: We took the kids on a nature hike through the canyon.

The activity emphasizes engagement with the outdoors rather than simply getting from one place to another.
