Hiking Trail

Trail

A trail, also known as a path or track, is a dirt road or a small paved road, usually through an undeveloped natural area, that is designed primarily for use by pedestrians, equestrians and non-motorized vehicles, although occasionally some off-roading motor vehicles may also use it. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, footpath or hiking trail is the preferred term. However, it is sometimes applied to highways in North America. In the United States, the term was historically used to describe the westward expansion trails, which are land routes into or through wildness regions of the American West used by explorers and migrants. Some trails are restricted to use by only walkers, cyclists or equestrians, or for cattle driving, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, while others are shared-use and can be used by walkers, cyclists and equestrians.
