Autumn’s rolling right along, probably a little bit too quickly for some of us. As the leaves begin their transformation from vibrant shades of green to brilliant hues of gold, red, and orange, we have a very short time to soak up the splendor of the fall foliage. Make the most of every moment by climbing aboard this fall foliage tram tour in Missouri that promises some of the best views of the season.
Go on a mid-week adventure aboard the fall foliage tram tour, slated to set off on Oct. 18-19, 2023, from Katy Trail State Park in Rocheport.
A two-hour journey from Rocheport to McBaine, the fall colors tour travels nine miles and promises an idyllic opportunity to drink in the fresh air and admire the fall foliage in the open-air tram.
While the public tours are free, Missouri State Parks will accept donations. Suggested donations are $5 for guests 13 and older and $3 for visitors 12 and younger.
As the tram meanders along the Missouri River, a seasoned tour guide will provide a riveting narrative about Katy Trail’s rich history. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to snap photos, too.
Registration is required due to limited space. You can register online or call 573-449-7402 on weekdays during business hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
If you can’t make it this fall, keep an eye out next spring for the possible return of tram tours. In past years, including 2023, Missouri State Parks has hosted tram tours on select Tuesdays during the warmer months.
Find more information and register for a fall foliage tram tour on the official website of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
