Gravel paths should be around 4 inches deep which needs to be consistent. Different soil types and winding paths could create problems or make the task more laborious. Once again tamp the decomposed granite until it does not move.
In areas with hard clay soil you may be able to bypass this base layer but most areas have soil that shifts and sinks dramatically over time so a stone pack made from pea gravel and stone dust is critical to ensuring your path will stand the test of time.
