Cape Henry Lighthouse, VA

Brian — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 02:37:11 +0000

In Virginia there are two Cape Henry Lighthouses. There is an old one and a New one. You cannot go inside the New lighthouse, but the Old one is accessible. The Lighthouses are not very tall at all, but you still get a good view of the ocean from the top. It takes about a Minute to get to the Top, it isn’t that high, but the stairs and ladders make it difficult. A Gift shop is also located at the Old Lighthouse.

IMPORTANT: To get inside the Lighthouse area you must show your ID and get your vehicle searched because it is close to Military Bases.

St. Louis Arch

The St. Louis Arch stands 650 feet tall. On the way up, you wait in line for a small pod to dock. When it docks you get on it and the door shuts and the pod starts going up. It’s about a 2 Minute ride to the top. Once you get to the top it is worth the ride, you get a nice view of St. Louis.
