The key, as a photographer, is then to find the beauty elsewhere, preferably in the everyday.
I maintain an active mountain images account, but when I post from somewhere untouched, I'm deliberately vague as to the location.
I'm watching the same thing happen with a tarn on Mt. Rainier. People are figuring out its location, and soon it will be highly trafficked. Most of these places look untouched precisely because people have gone to some trouble not to touch them.
Some overuse is a worthy trade, if, when at the ballot box and the cash register, nature-aware humans make the deliberate choice to sacrifice in order to preserve that which remains.
