On the way from Phoenix to Page, we passed through three areas with completely different geological features and vegetation. When we first left Phoenix, we saw columnar cacti on both sides of the road. As the altitude increased, the cacti and other low shrubs disappeared, replaced by tall pine forests, and finally the barren plateau with Danxia landform characteristics. It was amazing!
Mother road. I never understood the meaning of Route 66, but this sign explains it clearly. Whenever there was political or economic turmoil, people would go west along Route 66 to find opportunities. Route 66 was also one of the earliest roads in the early days of the development of the American automobile industry.

St. Louis in the central United States is located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and is named after King Louis IX of France. The most famous landmark in St. Louis is the Clavier Gate on the Mississippi River, which is very beautiful at sunrise.
The most famous attraction in St. Louis, the landmark building, the Arch is 600 feet high, 192 meters, and can be seen from a distance. You can feel the science and grandeur of the building when you get close. It is said that it cost more than 2 billion US dollars. You can take a cable car to the top and overlook the city in the direction of the old courthouse. You can take the north side bridge to cross the Mississippi River, which is Illinois. You can see the Arch from the bridge or a platform opposite.

Very imaginative experience. Displays of every aspect of the event in great detail and immersive. The costuming of the staff really added to the moment although more practice of the Irish accent would be helpful. Of course the building itself from the outside was awe inspiring. I was surprised at how many actually survived
TITANIC , guys who are fascinated with The Titanic highly recommend to visit it. It may look big on the outside, but it’s even bigger than you think on the inside! So full of valuable and fascinating history. This place is definitely worth checking out. There you will find several replicas of parts of the ship such as first class and third class rooms, the grand staircase, and the captains room. Worth to visit atleast once

Meet in Forest Park in St. Louis in winter. Walking in Forest Park, passing by the History Museum, Art Museum, Zoo, and Science Museum. Along the way, there are people running in shorts, cyclists, fishermen by the lake, and people playing golf and tennis... There is such a large forest park in the city center, and there are many places for entertainment. People regard exercise and enjoying the sun and outdoor air as part of their lives. I am a little embarrassed to wear a sweater and trousers.
It was my first time to visit the forest park. It covers a large area. I only walked a small part of it in more than 2 hours. It was autumn, and the leaves were red, which was particularly beautiful against the blue sky! I visited the museum, but I could only understand the Asian part.

This zoo is beautiful! It's the first zoo I've been to where the animals looked happy. You have a nice view from every angle. The underwater sea lion exhibit is a must see! It's free!
The St. Louis Zoo is right next to Forest Park, and next to the St. Louis Art Museum. The zoo is free and is known as the best zoo in the United States. It is really good. The animals are healthy and well-fed. Compared with other city zoos, this zoo has more herbivores such as antelopes, and many endangered species. There are polar bears, Madison penguins, and giant tortoises, which are all pretty good. It should be the favorite of children in this city, and many parents bring their children.

This is a family park and has something for everyone. It’s pricey but they are always investing in new things and in improvements.
I love visiting this place every year, especially when the fall craft fair is on. We were lucky enough to see the pumpkins in action, which was great for the kids. There were lots of craft vendors and different food options. The fee is about $75 for people over 12, so if you're going back, buy a season pass. You'll need hiking shoes.
