The Gateway Arch, also known as the Gateway to the West, is the tallest national monument in the U.S. Construction began on Feb. 12, 1963, with the last section put into place on Oct. 28, 1965.
The arch is an amazing feat of engineering. It's a national landmark that just cannot be missed. Great views from the top. If you've never been & appreciate history then it’s definitely worth visiting
My dad helped build this monument. Great views at the top. If you are claustrophobic, you may not like the 5 minutes it takes to get topside in the odd little elevators...
Try to go up the arch late evening when the sun is setting.Dat way u'll not only get the city while it's light but also an awesome sunset.Stay a bit longer n u'll get a pic of the city at nite too!
Love the Arch so much I have tattoo of it! For real though, one of the coolest, random, and most futuristic monuments in the world. I love trying to find all the different places to view it from.
The ride to the top was cozy. The top of the arch was the most incredible view imaginable. Then on the ride down, there were only two of us in the "car" and it was still cozy, but even more fun!
