Today is our last day in St. Louis. We checked out of our AirBNB and went to Gateway Arch. Linda and Annabelle had arrangements for a tram ride up the arch. They went inside while Andy stayed outside with Buster. The girls rode up the tram and saw Andy below the arch in the middle of the lawn below them.
After the arch, we went to Taco Bell for lunch. We left St. Louis with one more stop planned on the way home. We wanted to see Starved Rock State Park in Illinois. Starved Rock seems a lot like Devil’s Lake. It’s not far from Chicago and it’s a very popular park with lots of traffic.
We did two trails at Starved Rock. The first trail went up to the top of Starved Rock. Native Americans from the area were under siege and perished on Starved Rock, which is where the name came from. French Canyon trail was the other trail we hiked. Both trails were short but sweet. The view of the canyon was amazing.
