trail sign
Hiker's route indicator
Trail sign refers to markers or indicators along a path showing direction, distance, or location—typically blazes painted on trees, cairns, or posted placards: Follow the trail signs to the summit.
In tracking, trail sign means evidence of passage left by animals or humans: footprints, broken vegetation, disturbed ground.
Experienced trackers read trail sign to determine what passed, when, and in what direction.
