Roughly 10% of the park's yearly visitors come in March: roughly 4,000 recreation visits in a typical year, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes March the 6th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the April peak (1.5×) and the January low (0.3×).

On our Best Time to Visit score March rates 31/100 ("Poor"). Our recommended month is June: pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

The daily average of about 47°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter. These figures are 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals from the nearest station, about 0.1 miles from the park.

Because June, July and August together draw about 27% 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 11.7 hours of daylight in March to explore — between the 9.5-hour midwinter low and the 14.5-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2024 drew 39,081 recreation visits, up 4.8% from 37,282 in 2023.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 29.4%, so March may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
