trail guides
Backcountry navigation experts
Trail guides are people who lead others through wilderness areas, providing navigation, safety, and local knowledge on hikes, horseback rides, or backcountry expeditions: We hired a trail guide for the canyon trek.
The term also applies to printed or digital materials describing routes and conditions: The trail guide recommended sturdy boots for the rocky terrain.
