white blaze
Appalachian path symbol
A white blaze is a rectangular white paint mark on a tree or rock marking a hiking trail, especially the Appalachian Trail in the eastern United States: We followed the white blazes through the forest.
Hikers speak of "following the white blazes" as shorthand for staying on the official route.
Double white blazes signal a turn or junction ahead.
