They had decided to drive straight through as fast as they could so I don't know if they saw this Arch.
At 8:00 p.m. Utah time they were driving towards St. Louis, Missouri.
The
Gateway Arch is a 630-foot-high (192 m) monument in St. Louis, in the U.S. state of Missouri. Clad in
stainless steel and built in the form of a flattened catenary arch, it is
the tallest man-made monument in the United States, Missouri's
tallest accessible building, and the world's tallest arch. Built
as a monument to the westward
expansion of the United States, it is the centerpiece of the Jefferson
National Expansion Memorial and has become an internationally famous
symbol of St. Louis.
The
arch sits at the site of St. Louis' foundation on the west bank of the
Mississippi River.
