More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start with your phone lit and a map of St. Louis at your feet — the Arch rising like a compass behind you and the Mississippi murmuring to the east. The app pings: your first objective is somewhere in the old brick corridors of Laclede's Landing. From there the city unfolds in tiles — riverfront promenades, faded brewery blocks, and side streets with murals daring you to take a detour.
