St Louis Arch

The trip to St Louis would not have been complete without a stop at the arch.

The arch didn’t look so big amongst all the buildings from the view at our hotel the night before.

When we drove up to the arch, it began to look very big.

As we walked up to it, it looked even bigger, especially looking up 630 feet in the sky to see the top of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For our trip to the top we rode in pods.    When we purchased our tickets, we were asked if we had any problems with claustrophobia or heights.   I lied and said no.    I’m scared of heights, but only if I think I could fall.   So in reality, I probably didn't lie;  I don’t have a problem with heights, I only have a problems with falling from heights.

The pods are not what you would call roomy.   They are designed to hold five people.  Fortunately, the early hour and cold weather kept the crowds away and my husband and I got a pod to ourselves. 

After several minutes we reached the top and were able to take in the views.

 

I found the view at the St Louis Arch is just as incredible from the outside as it is from the inside.
