trailless
Lacking marked paths
Trailless describes terrain without established paths or trails: trailless wilderness, trailless backcountry.
The word signals that hikers or travelers must navigate without marked routes, often implying more difficult or pristine areas: We bushwhacked through trailless forest for hours.
