Sightseeing
Built in 1966, the Gateway Arch is a perfect ellipse. Reserve tickets on-line for a scheduled train ride to the top - the view of Missouri and Illinois from 630 feet in the air is fantastic! The Arch grounds are part of the National Park System; take time to visit the museum of westward expansion below the arch.
