Gateway Arch National Park
Gateway Arch National Park, also known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, is a park located in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The centerpiece of the park is the iconic 630-foot tall stainless steel Gateway Arch, which was built in 1965 to commemorate the westward expansion of the United States. The park also features the Museum of Westward Expansion, the Old Court House, and the St. Louis Riverfront. Visitors to the park can take a tram ride to the top of the arch for a breathtaking view of the city, or explore the surrounding area on a guided tour. The park also hosts educational programs and events throughout the year.
"the grandest of all special temples of Nature" and "the only one of the world's great parks that could not be improved."
- John Muir
"In God's wildness lies the hope of the world - the great fresh unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware.
-Theodore Roosevelt
