I'm not sure I've ever approach the Arch from the side before, but it was pretty neat. Unfortunately we were coming from the north end in the rain and the cake was located all the way by the south leg.
The Gateway Arch has been a St. Louis icon since 1965 when construction on the 630 foot structure. It is the centerpiece of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and has been opened to the public since 1967. The Museum of Westward Expansion is located underground the Arch and is open for free. You have to pay to take the tram up to the observation deck, but it is worth the small fee. They are currently working to revitalize the Arch grounds. I look forward to seeing how beautiful the grounds will become.
