The trail was a network of tracks, dirt roads, and river crossings that threaded west out of North Vietnam and south along the Truong Son Mountain Range between Vietnam and Laos.
Era uma rede de caminhos, de estradas de terra batida e travessias de rios que partia do oeste do Vietname do Norte e seguia para o sul, ao longo da Cordilheira Truong Son, entre o Vietname e o Laos.
