The trail in the photo is not actually an official trail. People just wander wherever and create these scars. They should stay on official trails. Otherwise, there will be no plants which makes this view so pretty.

It's more about preserving the fragile ecosystem so everyone can enjoy its beauty. If everyone is walking wherever just to get that perfect Instagram shot, there would be no plants, just dust. Lower portions of Paradise area are in a pretty bad shape from people not respecting the rules.
