Some places are really beautiful, but would not be less beautiful just because people can enjoy them.
Maybe the solution is to preserve these places until we have relatively cheap tech (like quadcopter drones) that can carry people to some of these places. Allow them to come in only at certain times or whatever so normally the place is still as wild as ever. Or VR connected to drones that people can fly around... there are many possibilities in the not-too-distant future that probably.
But right now the only practical way to make these places accessible is with paved roads so that's what happens.
