remote trails

Far-flung hiking routes

Remote trails are paths or hiking routes located far from populated areas, roads, or easy access points.

The remoteness implies difficulty reaching them, sparse human presence, and often unmarked or minimally maintained conditions: We spent a week on remote trails in the backcountry.

The phrase suggests adventure and solitude but also increased risk.
