The daily average of about 46°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter. These figures are 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals from the nearest station, about 13.2 miles from the park.

Because June, July and August together draw about 37% of annual visitors, choosing March instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.
