Hypertrees are high-dimensional counterparts of graph theoretic trees. They have attracted a great deal of attention by various investigators. Here we introduce and study Hyperpaths – a particular class of hypertrees which are high dimensional analogs of paths in graph theory. A d-dimensional hyperpath is a d-dimensional hypertree in which every (d-1)-dimensional face is contained in at most (d+1) faces of dimension d. We introduce a possibly infinite family of hyperpaths for every dimension, and investigate its properties in greater depth for dimension d=2.
