Inside this maze

Look for the first fork in the fourth hexagon along the top row. The approach takes four passage moves, and the fork offers a sloping opening as well as movement along the row. This 24-column, 18-row layout keeps changing the direction you need to inspect: its 261-step answer uses all six hexagonal directions and makes 206 turns. No run in a single direction lasts longer than 3 moves, so long straight sweeps will not carry you across it.

There are 28 junctions on the answer, compared with 51 across the complete board. That gives you a way to review a finished attempt without assuming every visible branch belongs to the solution. On a second printout, mark only the junctions your successful route actually visits. The exercise suits an experienced rectangular-maze solver learning to read sloping walls: two hexagons must share an open side to connect, and touching at a point does not create a passage.
