If the DM WANTS you to find the tracks, you won't need the skill to do it. Or the DM might use Nature or Perception or Investigation or some other skill to make it more likely the party will find the trail. And at the same time, you can reasonably assume if the DM doesn't give you the path to follow, that there's nothing important really down that path. so in a player's hands, this functions more as a momentary diversion, or a time for the DM to narrate some of the "what happened here?!" for a curious group. This, for me, is C-tier material: It's not going to be useful for every character, or in every campaign, but you can sometimes find a use for it, and when it IS useful (which may be never!), it's quite nice to have.</p></blockquote><p></p>
