Hidden Path at Animal Kingdom?

I recall seeing a post that talked about a hidden path at Animal Kingdom that is not on any park maps, but I cannot find it anymore. Does anyone know about this and where it is located?

I know there is a great walking path that starts out behind the Fastpass distribution area for ITTBAB. I rarely see anybody on it. I learned about it on the Wild by Design tour.

There was a secret path written about in guidebooks, one that i had titled maybe WDW for Couples or something like that. We actually found it several years ago by asking a CM. It was fairly short through vegetation and had a short rock path over a running stream. The CM said it was notorious for after hours shenanigans. When we went back two years later, say about 2002 or 03, we noticed planters placed in front of the entrance. A CM saw us looking in that direction and told us the vegetation had been allowed to grow up and it was almost impossible to get back there. Don't worry, he said many others had asked recently, but you really aren't missing anything.

there used to be a quiet walk along the river by what is now the entrance to Everest. It was a quiet walk down the path to the theater in the wild.

That's the one I kne about

Looking at the Disney guide map of the Animal Kingdom, it looks like there might be a path that goes behind the Tree of Life, starting at "c" on the map, and ending at "d." The map also keys it as an "animal viewing" location. (The path might be a quicker way to move from one part of the park to another, making it unnecessary to walk around the tree.)

"c" is "Beastly Bazaar" candies, etc.
"d" is "Creature Comforts" gifts & toys.

Enjoy.
