Party is marching along, initially unaware of quicksand in their path. The DMG (p.110) says "...can be identified with a successful Intelligence (Nature) check. Use the guidelines in chapter 8 to set an appropriate DC for any check made to spot or recognize a hazard." I want to interpret this as follows: the characters need only succeed on the Nature check and they both perceive that something is amiss and they identify it as quicksand. I'm interested in hearing how others would run this. Especially I am curious whether others think that both a Perception check (to perceive) and a Nature check (to identify) are needed.
