Arch

Trent, Dan and I made a trip to the top of the Arch today and a few quick minutes perusing the museum exhibits.

We're going way up there???

The elevator ride was Trent's favorite part

The ride back down

Trent pointing out an interesting fact at the museum.

We rode back down from the top of the arch with one of the arch employees. Dan took advantage to ask her a bunch of questions and we learned some interesting facts about the inner workings of the Arch. This was helpful because when doing sightseeing activities with Trent you don't get a lot of time to read any of the facts or information of the exhibits. A fact to remember for future trivia contests...there are 1,076 steps from top to bottom on each side of the arch.

  1. Is there any significance to the # of stairs?

  2. Yes, that is how many it takes to get to the top.
