trail walking
Outdoor footpath excursion
Trail walking is hiking or walking on established paths through natural areas, typically for recreation or exercise.
The term emphasizes the path itself—trails through woods, parks, or wilderness—rather than street or treadmill walking.
We went trail walking in the state forest last weekend.
Often used interchangeably with hiking, though trail walking may suggest gentler terrain.
