Missouri! It's most famous park is, of course, the Gateway Arch. Why is Gateway Arch a National Park? Should it be a National Park? Probably not, but it is still definitely worthy of inclusion in the National Park System, regardless of its designation. Which means we're going to talk about it, along with all of the other NPS units of the Show-Me State, many of which see next to no visitors. Join me as we explore the National Parks... of Missouri.
