trackless

Lacking any path

Trackless means without paths or trails.

A trackless wilderness has no roads or marked routes through it: They wandered into trackless forest.

The word can also describe vehicles that run without rails or tracks: a trackless trolley operates on rubber tires rather than fixed rails.

Figuratively, trackless suggests uncharted territory or absence of precedent.
