A view of the St. Louis historical Old Courthouse from the top of the Gateway Arch.
The ride to the top of the Arch takes only 4 minutes, but it seems alot longer with 5 people sitting in this tiny "pod". A train of 8 cars make the trip together.
As the train of pods navigates the increasing arc of the Arch, the pod stays level a bit, and then tips a tiny bit before "kachinking" and evening out again. On the way up you can look out of the car through the tiny windows and see all of the guts of the arch - bolts, scaffolding and (just in case!) a stairwell.
Mike and the kids looked dwarfed next to the giant base of the Arch.
