  Comments:
This is the most common collocation for the very-common 参詣 (ahead of 参詣人 and 参詣者, both of which we do have).  Not inherently obvious that "pilgrimage" would be the correct sense/gloss from 参詣. みち appears to be the most-common reading for the most-common exemplars (Kii mountain range, etc.). 

Image search produces forest paths and maps of forest routes.
