I agree. Not only does it become obvious where the cache is, it will tend to lead muggles into the area. Also, creating a path is not good for the environment. Paths become mud, and erosion begins. I had a cache where people were coming in a route I hadn't figured on, and creating a path up a steep hillside. It only took about 4 finds before a path was becoming visible. I moved the cache far enough away that a different way in with multiple entry points and routes became preferable to scrambling up the hill.
