Episode 186 is taking you to a very unique national park in America -Gateway Arch National Park! This urban center has historic roots as the gateway to the West during the expansion era in America. This is the perfect day trip from Chicago or stop during a St. Louis trip. You can ride the tram, explore the museum, and take a steamboat cruise to get the full experience at Gateway Arch National Park. We recommend purchasing a combo ticket.
