trail junction
Where paths meet
A trail junction is where two or more trails meet or cross, typically marked with signs indicating directions and distances to destinations.
Hikers use trail junctions as decision points and landmarks for navigation: Turn left at the junction to reach the summit.
We'll meet at the trail junction where the loop splits.
