The gateway to the west.
The bottom picture above is the view from our hotel room.
The others are self explanatory.
Getting to the top is a bloody nightmare. The place was mobbed and having started by watching a nice movie all about Lewis and Clarke ( if you need to know about them ask me when we next meet I can bore the pants off you with the Lewis and Clarke stories! or look them up on google much quicker!) and the start of the expedition to the West we then joined a queue or as they say here a line! This then took about two hours to reach the "pod" which takes you to the top. This is a tiny claustrophobic metal box with a tiny window and five seats. You get up close and personal to strangers in this little metal box which slowly grinds its way to the top! If you should go there do not do it on a school holiday weekend mid afternoon.....too busy!!! Oh and try not to go when it is over 90F in the shade!
Went to Irish pub afterward exhausted and a nice chilled pint of Guinness with fish and chips!! Very nice!
