Historic Route 66 - Gateway Arch - St.Louis, Missouri, USA. - National Scenic Byways on Waymarking.com

At 630 feet tall by 630 feet wide the Gateway Arch dominates the Saint Louis skyline for miles. We first spotted the Arch from The iconic old route 66, chain of Rocks Bridge in Illinois.

No Mother Road trip along Route 66 through St. Louis would be complete without a trip to the Gateway Arch and a trip to the top of the Arch.
