Photo tour: Beautiful Missouri

Warm Springs Ranch

St. Louis, the largest city in the Great Plains, has something for everyone ... watch the Cardinals play at Busch Stadium, gamble on a Mississippi riverboat, snap a photo in front of the iconic Gateway Arch or dig in to music history in the city where Tina Turner and Miles Davis got their starts.

Forest Park in St. Louis is one of the USA's largest urban parks - bigger even than Central Park in New York. This green space in the heart of the city contains an art museum, zoo, science center, theater and 7.5 miles of recreational trails.

If you want to retrace the steps of Lewis and Clark through the nation, you'll have to pass through Missouri. In Kansas City, a statue at Clark's Point, overlooking the Missouri River Valley, marks the spot where the legendary adventurers stopped in 1806.
