walking tracks

Routes for hikers

Walking tracks are designated paths or trails for foot travel, typically through natural areas like parks, forests, or mountains.

The term is especially common in Australian and New Zealand English, where Americans might say hiking trails.

Walking tracks range from paved urban paths to rugged backcountry routes: The national park maintains several walking tracks of varying difficulty.
