A unique tram ride takes visitors to the top of the arch for an amazing view. The engineering for the tram system uses the principles of a conventional elevator, street car, and ferris wheel.

The view at the top was spectacular. We could see for miles.

After leaving the Arch, we found a great BBQ place for a late lunch. Then, it was back to the marina and off to WalMart for some provisioning. That evening, Dave & Penny on "Penny Pinchin' " joined us for a relaxing hot tub soak.
