Standing right underneath it was fantastic. You don't realize how big it is until you're right there; and I didn't know until I Googled, that this is considered a catenary arch. I am always so amazed when I look at structures like this and think that someone designed and then built it.
Every time I pass through St. Louis, it always seems to be at night which is fine with me, because I love the way the arch looks at night. But seeing it up close made it so much more beautiful to me.

Your picture really does it justice!
I went on a family vacation to St. Louis as a child. I found the arch so enchanting.
Of course the trip was also memorable because my younger sister spotted a little person selling souveniers and said, at the top of her tactless lungs, "Look, Mom. He's shorter than me!" We werea all mortified.
Anyway, you must make a return trip and get yourself to the top!
