TRAILS
A trail, also known as a path or track, is a dirt road or a small paved road, usually through an undeveloped natural area, primarily used by pedestrians, equestrianss 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 (e.g. the Oregon Trail), 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 (e.g. bridleways in the UK) are shared-use and can be used by walkers, cyclists and equestrians. Although most trail ban use by motorized vehicles, there are unpaved trails that allow dirt bikes, quad bikes and other off-road vehicles, usually for extreme sports and rally races.
In some mountainous regions like the Alps, trails are used by alpine agrarian communities for moving livestock between grazing pastures.
