trek
Long, hard hike
Trek is a long, difficult journey, especially one made on foot through rugged terrain: a trek through the Himalayas.
The word implies effort and endurance rather than leisurely travel.
More casually, trek describes any tedious journey: the daily trek to work, I had to trek all the way across campus.
