How to call the two points at each end of a path?

By "path" I mean a route that has been walked by.

The best I could come out with is starting point and ending point.

Is there a shorter way to refer to them?

(Maybe end points?)


Solution 1:

You could refer to them as terminal points or just terminals if you want something shorter.

Some transit systems refer to the train stop at the end of a line as the Terminal station, meaning that there are no more stations after this point, and the train just turns around and goes back the other way.

Solution 2:

If you simply said the ends of a path, I think most people would understand that to encompass each end.

Starting and ending points assume a directionality, which may or may not be what you intend.
