off-roading
Rugged terrain travel
Off-roading is driving a vehicle over rough terrain rather than paved roads—through mud, sand, rocks, or wilderness trails.
It's both a recreational activity and sometimes a practical necessity in remote areas.
Vehicles designed or modified for off-roading typically have high ground clearance, four-wheel drive, and rugged tires: We went off-roading in the desert last weekend.
