No, he did not, but he did name it a game preserve and added thousands of acres of National Forest land to it. It became a National Park in 1919 under the administration of Woodrow Wilson.

He may have when he named it a Game Preserve and added National forest to it. He did not manage to have it named a National Park, but that happened in 1919 under Woodrow Wilson.

Why did Teddy Roosevelt advocate the conservation of American wilderness?

Teddy Roosevelt was not President when either of these divisions of the US government were created by federal legislation. The former was founded in 1891; the latter, in 1916. However, Roosevelt greatly expanded forest reserves, declared the first national monuments and wildlife reserves, and whole-heartedly supported the establishment of national parks. WHY he did so is best summed up in a speech that he gave at the Grand Canyon in 1903: "We have gotten past the stage, my fellow-citizens, when we are to be pardoned if we treat any part of our country as something to be skinned for two or three years for the use of the present generation, whether it is the forest, the water, the scenery. Whatever it is, handle it so that your children's children will get the benefit of it."

Via Page, AZ and Kanab, UT it is 274 miles and via Las Vegas it is 394 miles. By driving east to get to the west you save an hour and 10 minutes of driving time and 120 road miles. The reason of course is the lack of a bridge across the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River.

What did Teddy Roosevelt do to help the environment?

Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York City. As a boy, he loved nature. He liked hunting and camping. When he was older, he traveled out west because he loved the mountains and plains. Roosevelt grew up to become President of the United States. As President, he thought it was important to keep land and water free of buildings and pollution. He worked for new laws to protect forests, rivers, and other natural resources. Roosevelt wanted to make sure that special places like the Grand Canyon were protected forever. So he created national parks and forests. He made safe areas for animals to live. The government takes care of these lands. People can also use and enjoy them. Maybe you will think of President Theodore Roosevelt the next time you visit a national park.
