Steve’s take
630 feet of stainless steel marking the Gateway to the West. The tram ride takes you to the top in tiny capsules where the wait is the experience and the view is forty miles. Reservations required (book online), allow ninety minutes from arrival to exit. Underground museum has been completely redone — history of westward expansion, Lewis & Clark, the building of the Arch itself. Free admission to the grounds and museum; tram tickets are paid. A National Park since 2018.
