Cool to See, but Overrated
圣路易斯拱门的点评
点评：So, I recently read an article that was about National Parks. Most over-rated, and most under-rated. And while you could see in the article that the author was trying to steer people away from all the big well-known ones like Yellowstone, Tetons, etc… toward the less known ones. It also gave a rating – and The St. Louis Arch was at the top of the list for most over-rated. And although the visitor’s center and gift shop were pretty extensive, and they’ve renovated the grounds --- I’d have to agree.
It didn’t help that upon descending to Visitor’s Center we got hit with an awful sewage smell. Almost unbearable. It was so bad – that I asked one of the NPS rangers, and apparently when they renovated the bathrooms, the sewer often backs up. The smell was obnoxious.
The ride up was cool, cramped, but cool. The stop at the top of the arch lasted 10 minutes. Last time it was about 30+ minutes. The views were cool --- and they’ve finally added some attractions to the East.
Parking: Validate for several hours in the East Parking Lot between the Arch and the ball park.
Staff: Excellent
Merch store: Extensive
Grounds: Clean
Would recommend: Yes
Would re-patronize: Probably not

翻译：最近我读了一篇关于国家公园的文章，里面提到了哪些国家公园被高估了，哪些被低估了。文章作者显然是想引导大家避开那些热门的国家公园，比如黄石公园、大提顿国家公园等等，转而选择一些不太知名的公园。文章还给出了一个排名——圣路易斯拱门位列“最被高估”榜首。虽然游客中心和礼品店规模相当大，而且园区也翻新过——但我不得不承认，这个排名确实有点高。
更糟糕的是，我们下到游客中心的时候，一股难闻的下水道臭味扑面而来，几乎让人无法忍受。臭味实在太难闻了，我只好问了一位国家公园管理局的管理员，原来他们翻新卫生间的时候，下水道经常会堵塞。那味道真是令人作呕。
上山的路很凉爽，虽然有点拥挤，但还不错。我们在拱门顶端停留了10分钟，而上次我们停留了30多分钟。景色很棒——而且东侧终于新增了一些景点。
停车：在拱门和棒球场之间的东侧停车场可以免费停车数小时。
工作人员：服务一流
周边商品：种类丰富
场地：干净整洁
推荐：是
是否会再次光顾：可能不会
