This is certainly a problem, and having walked in Utah, there are
certainly some specific problems with walking off track there.
However, it seems that land managers are looking at the threat without
seeing the opportunity.
Yes, unauthorised trails get publicised more quickly. But the flip
side of this is that land managers can also identify unauthorised
trails more quickly, and take action.
Whether you agree or not, tracks can be "closed" in OSM in ways that
make them less likely to be re-added to the map. Eg:

One local to me I think will soon be tagged abandoned:highway=path ..
takes a keen eye to see it now. Of course visibility=bad too.

Hi Folks,
Definitely worth a follow especially if you have an interest in
informal tracks/paths/pads and maybe even historical routes that
don’t appear on the ground. I certainly don’t agree with all their
statements (especially …. Good coverage of all trails (including
closed or illegal ones) is essential for some mapping applications,
such as firefighting and SAR.) but its also interesting that its now
coming up as a major issue for US National Parks and reserves
managers. In Tasmania its been known as an issue since the early 1990’s
I think lots of their issues will require close cooperation with the
map renderers to be in any way effective.
Cheers - Phil

Looks like something that we should be following with interest?
Thanks
