25 Pathways That Have Been Carved Out By Human Desire

Sometimes, people have desires that they just cannot hold back. It is in human nature to want to explore, wander, and make paths. This is something many people don't realize they are even doing, but after so much time, it shows. It is interesting to see how the quiet thoughts of many people add up to become something so much greater.
Desire paths are pathways and walkways that have been carved out simply due to people wanting them there. Everyone has seen, and probably even taken, a path that was not paved in the slightest. These paths began with someone who took a route that seemed simpler than the one which was intended to be taken.
Desire paths are interesting; they are all over the world, and some people have taken it upon themselves to photograph the coolest ones so everyone can see them. Here are just a few desired paths that folks created on their own.
