The Gateway To The West


This is one beautiful sight when entering Missouri. I love to look over at the Arch.
Take a tour up into the Arch. A tram car takes you to the top of the Arch. It is really neat to look over the city from the observation area at the top of the Arch. The view is magnificient! It is next to the Mississipi River which has story of it's own.

Directly under the Arch is the Museum of Westward Expansion. It has a movie theater that shows a 45 minute documentary depicting the arch under construction. The museum has artifacts from the Lewis and clark era, rare Indian medals, and Indian headress, tepee and a covered wagon. National Geograpic has a Lewis and Clark, Great Journey West production in the Odyssey Theater.

This is a part of history and beauty well worth checking out!
