Don't stray from the line! By taking a step out of the gap, sidewalk or path you are leaving your mark and not in a good way.
Avoid shortcuts
One can choose to go out of the way for multiple reasons: either to create a shortcut, to reach a remote and inaccessible place by the designated path, to go to the bathroom, or simply by accident.

Damage from trampling
The trails are marked for a reason, and it's of the utmost importance to respect them. The trampling caused by going off-trail can hurt plants and decrease vegetation cover. If this action is repeated, as well as if many hikers walk there, it can eventually cause a decline in biodiversity: the exact effects vary depending on the type of plant. Grasses are the most resistant to damage and shrubs the least

.Loss of water, nutrients and fertility
The peaks and low ridges between the peaks are the most affected by going off the path because there is naturally less land than in other areas. In some studies, trampling over time led to lower porosity and hardened soil. These conditions can lead to water loss and affect the amount of nutrients in the soil, which in turn can cause erosion and impact plant growth
