rainforest trail

Canopy-shaded hiking route

A rainforest trail is a path through tropical or temperate rainforest, typically maintained for hikers, researchers, or tourists.

These trails wind through dense vegetation, often featuring boardwalks or elevated sections to protect fragile ecosystems: We hiked the rainforest trail at dawn to spot wildlife.

The term evokes humid, biodiverse environments with towering canopy and undergrowth.
