Backcountry refers to remote, undeveloped areas of wilderness that are often away from established roads and urban environments. These regions are typically characterized by natural landscapes, including mountains, forests, and rivers, making them popular for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and skiing. In the context of outdoor recreation, backcountry areas can provide unique experiences for adventurers seeking solitude and a connection with nature. However, they often require specialized skills and equipment for navigation and safety, as they may lack amenities and services found in more developed areas, such as national parks or state parks.
