Spanish term or phrase: tiradera forestal
"Buscar la antigua 'tiradera forestal' que sube siguiendo un barranco."
It's not a trail but a breach opened in the forets in order to transport wood (actually, throw down, and therefore the name)
There must be a name for this, I've seen tons of them in British Columbia, for example.
