Morphology
The meaning 'a path clearly marked with signs or paint' is directly derivable from combining 'blazon' (to show or display prominently) with 'trail' (a path), with the past-participle 'blazoned' functioning adjectivally to indicate the trail has been marked. This is a straightforward compositional pattern in English and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Blazoned trail comes from the image of a trail that is blazoned, made easy to see by bright paint, flags, or signs on trees. So, it means 'a path that is clearly marked' and easy to follow.
