Cumberland Cycling - Gateway To Nationals
630' Above St. Louis

No trip through St. Louis would be complete without a stop at the Arch.  With plenty of time to arrive in Kansas the Cumberland Cycling Team decided to take a trip inside this impressive structure.  For only $10 you can travel from below the ground to a viewing area at the Arch's apex. 

This detour was time and money well spent.  If you get an opportunity then we suggest taking in this experience with your friends or family.  Take just 60 minutes of your time, park on the banks of the Mississippi (literally!), climb the steps and continue rising above for another 630'.
