Un camino de cabras
When we drive in a very poor road, taking into account the width or the surface, we call it, camino de cabras, is there a similar English expression?
Like trail of goats ? Thanks. |
In BrE, we might say
1. An unmetalled road (a road without tarmac surface, but OK for any vehicle) 2. A cart track (bad surface, but wide enough a cart, and possibly a 4x4 car or tractor) 3. A goat path / goat track (for a narrow / steep trail impossible for any vehicle) :) |
Thank you, Goat path is great!

From what I've heard of AmEng, it seems that they usually just say a bumpy road or a bad road or maybe just "man you would need 4x4 if this were wet." In reference to the surface of the road we'll say that is a a gravel or a dirt road. Of course, other people might use some other terms too, but this is what I've heard.

Nothing to do with goats in the USA ? Don´t you have wild goats in the mountains?

We also have bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) in the mountains in western North America: I have seen them inside the Grand Canyon in Arizona. |
