Only good thing I know him for is the National Parks system was made during his presidency.
The Ken Burns PBS documentary about National Parks has a good overview of their history.
It breezes through the expulsion of the indigenous people from the future national park land, and goes on a pro-car tear near the end of the series. But the stories of artists/photographers and creation of newer parks was nice.
The national parks used to be far too unregulated, but the best part of them (the visitors would come by train!) has been replaced by cars :(
Best way to explore them imo is the hiking trails. Driving from major point to point ok, but to really experience them in the best you gotta get out in trails and
. You can only get a preview from the main strip and at that point you might as well watch a documentary.
Just heed the warning signs - as you pointed out too unregulated. Those signs and rules were written in blood.
