Reality is, most tourist will continue to do the convenient touring laid out in front of them regardless of costs associated, it's pretty expensive to vacation here already. Those that truly want the "western Canada backcountry experience" as you mentioned can without feeling as lost so I don't think it would drag that much more traffic on the trail then what is currently, just maybe better prepared. Lots of people get lost and injured or dead in the backcountry by not knowing what to expect and being ill prepared.
