The key is accessibility. If you have a good road then you get people who treat nature as bad as themselves.

The higher up without accessible road or further in towards tougher trails and you start to have people there who have the will and stamina to be there and take the necessary precautions.

I agree. The higher the non-money relate commitment of getting to a location the fewer people I see. The ones I do see are generally people who have greater respect for where they are. Unfortunately I think that many wonderful places have fallen victim to the "easy to get to" issue.
Preikestolen in Norway is a good example of that done right I think, a 5-hour round trip trail to take your picture is a good filter.
