Human desire can be so strong that there are time when it cannot be contained, but in a good way. It is in human nature to want to explore, wander, and find new places to discover. People don't even realize they are doing it until their wandering has impacted the natural space. It is pretty interesting to see how the quiet, subconscious, yet similar thoughts of so many people can add up to make a serious dent in the world, but in a kind of beautiful way.

Desire paths are pathways and walkways that have been carved out simply due to people wanting them or needing them there. Most people have probably seen a desire path, and most people have probably even walked one. These paths and routes all began because someone saw a simpler route than the one paved or gravelled.

Desire paths are interesting, and they can be found all over the world. Some people have taken it upon themselves to photograph the coolest ones and document them so that everyone can see them. Here are just a few desired paths that folks created on their own.
