St Louis - Gateway to the West


Each city has its landmark. It might be a bridge or a statue. But only one city has a gigantic arch - St. Louis! The gateway was built to represent all the people who passed through the city on their way out west.
It is actually the tallest monument in the US. It is taller than the Washington Monument and even twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty.
In order to get up there you have to take a tiny elevator, which takes 4 minutes up and 3 minutes down.
Going up...



On top you can get out of the elevator and enjoy the view through small windows...
