How multi-day hiking routes are structured

Understanding the structure of multi-day hiking trails.

Multi-day hiking routes are structured as a sequence of daily stages that together form a continuous trail.

Each stage represents one day of hiking between two fixed points.

Route components

  • Start point
  • Daily stages
  • Overnight locations
  • End point

Why structure matters

Understanding route structure helps hikers pace themselves and plan accommodation and logistics.
