Visited: Monday, July 6th, 2009
This is far from the first US National Park I visited; neither was it the first Megan and I visited. But it was the start of our quest. By the end of the month, we started looked for _more_ national park sites to visit on our journey, in spite of the fact that we had too many things already on the itinerary.
So, _other_ than a trip to the top of the arch - very enjoyable and worthwhile, but too crowded to want to spend a lot of time up there - what is offered?
There's a wonderful movie about the building of the arch. Actually, this is a common feature of national park visitor's centers - the films shown aren't all winners, but all of them are worthwhile, and some of them are incredible. This one stood out for me, in no small part because of the engineering accomplishment.
And at the arch - that's about it. Nice souvenir area - but it feels more commercial than most.
We didn't get to visit the nearby Old Courthouse; next time for sure.
