We left Mammoth Cave National Park early this morning and decided to stop in St. Louis to see the newly deemed Gateway National Park, aka St. Louis Arch. It did NOT disappoint! To reach the top of the arch, we sat inside a tram that is sort of like a capsule transport system that runs on tracks inside the hollow legs of the arch. It took us 4 short minutes to reach the top! While at the top of the arch, we could see the Mississippi River, the nearby courthouse and Busch Stadium. We learned that the Gateway Arch is a memorial site to remember the mass migration and settlement of the American West during the 1800s. We had a great time and highly recommend visiting the arch if you happen to be in St. Louis!
