Missouri State Parks is offering an opportunity for senior citizens to take in Katy Trail State Park from an open tram coach during Tuesdays on the Trail tours.
The tours are part of Missouri State Parks' Seniors to Parks initiative, with funding for the tram provided by the Missouri Parks Association.
The free tours will be offered at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and last around two hours each. Space is limited, and reservations are required.
