Best Spots in Missouri for a Glass Bottom Bridge

Glass bridges and overlooks are becoming popular draws around the world. Some aren’t full on bridges, instead they are overlooks, or sky-walks. As good as Missouri is at tourism however, the state is missing a glass bridge or sky-walk overlook.

I asked A.I. (Grok3) where the best place would be in Missouri for placement of a glass suspension bridge or sky-walk overlook. As far as glass suspension bridges go? Here are a few:

Grand Canyon Sky-walk with glass walkway

Across the Missouri river as part of the Katy Trail. Currently the Katy trail only crosses the Missouri river in Boonville, Mo.  But there are several other places where the trail runs parallel to the river and a bridge could be built across to a location, or next to an existing bridge. Examples: Jefferson City at the Missouri Capital, Hermann into downtown or in St. Charles near the Blanchette bridge. Or even across the Missouri river in Creve Coeur on/next to the Page bridge.

Overlooking the Show-Me State.   College of the Ozarks, Point Lookout high above Lake Taneycomo. At the Ha-Ha Tonka Water tower overlooking the Lake of the Ozarks and the Ha-ha Tonka Castle Ruins. Or Rocheport at the A-Frame Winegarden overlook or the Bistro at the Blufftop. Both are above the Katy Trail.

Between skyscrapers in St. Louis or Kansas City.  Corridors that connect buildings in downtown areas aren’t new, but ones made of glass? That would be different.

Whether overlooking a river, lake or downtown-scape a glass bridge, sky-walk or overlook would be a draw in a state that knows how to "tourism".
