This is not for photography or an "adventure"... Nonetheless, since I left my
footprints there during my childcare duties earlier this week, I might as
well record it in the history book -:))
The Gateway Arch is a
630-foot (192 m) monument in St. Louis, Missouri. Clad in stainless
steel and built in the form of an inverted, weighted catenary arch, it
is the world's tallest arch and the tallest man-made monument in the
Western Hemisphere. It is built as a monument to the westward expansion
of the United States.
The Gateway Arch was designed in
1947; construction began on February 12, 1963, and was completed on
October 28, 1965 for $13 million (equivalent to $180 million in 2013).
The monument opened to the public on June 10, 1967.
