How Crowded Is Devils Tower National Monument in March?

March runs about 0.2× Devils Tower National Monument's average month, which makes it a very quiet month here — roughly 2% of the park's yearly visitors come in March.

In a typical March the park sees roughly 7,800 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes March the 8th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (2.9×) and the January low (0.1×).

On our Best Time to Visit score March rates 45/100 ("Fair"), versus the top-rated May at 63/100 — best overall balance of crowds, weather and daylight.

Typical March weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 47°F and an overnight low around 21°F, with about 1.1" of precipitation and roughly 7" of snow.

That average of about 34°F is cold, with winter conditions likely on higher ground.

Because June, July and August together draw about 67% of annual visitors, choosing March instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 11.6 hours of daylight in March to explore — between the 8.6-hour midwinter low and the 15.4-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 515,303 recreation visits, down 4.7% from 540,890 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has risen about 8.6%, so a March visit is likely to feel busier than it did a few years ago.
