unmarked trail
Unsigned wilderness path
An unmarked trail is a path through wilderness that lacks official signs, blazes, or other navigation aids.
Such trails may be informal routes created by repeated use, or established paths that simply haven't been marked: We got lost following an unmarked trail through the forest.
Hikers on unmarked trails rely on maps, GPS, or local knowledge rather than posted guidance.
