Visitors choose the misted pathway to cool off as they walk under the Scenic Railway Line tracks at Silver Dollar City Theme Park in Branson, MO on July 28, 2023. Much of the park is also highly shaded, as conserving trees was a huge deal for Mary Herschend, one of the original founders of Silver Dollar City back when it was started in 1960. To this day, large mature trees provide shade to visitors throughout the entire park, along with many that have been planted since then.
