St Louis Arch part 1

Our view of the Arch as we walked toward it. 

 View of the Arch, looking up.

This is what the tram that takes you up to the top of the Arch looks like.  View of the doorways into the tram, each holds 5 people knee to knee.  It is a 4 minute trip to the top and a 3 minute trip down.

View of Busch Stadium from inside the Arch.
Owen under the sign saying it is 620 feet tall.  The tallest monument in the park system.
An extremely hot and humid day but there was a lovely breeze which was closer to a gale when we came out of the Arch complex.  The entire complex is underground.  To enter you must go through a security screening much like airport security.  We went to the top of the Arch and watched two movies, one about Lewis and Clark and the other about the building of the Arch.  The Arch was completed in 1968, I found that interesting thought it was older than that.
