Check access before you plan around March

March draws about 16% of the visits Timpanogos Cave sees in an average month. Numbers that low usually mean limited access: closed roads, closed facilities or deep-winter conditions. The count alone does not say which, so check the park's current conditions before planning around March. Official Timpanogos Cave park page.

Roughly 1% of the park's yearly visitors come in March: roughly 1,500 recreation visits in a typical year, 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×).

On our Best Time to Visit score March rates 16/100 ("Poor"). Our recommended month is May: the lightest crowds of the park's good-weather months.

The daily average of about 40°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter. These figures are 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals from the nearest station, about 0.2 miles from the park.

Because June, July and August together draw about 64% 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 9.1-hour midwinter low and the 14.9-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 92,031 recreation visits, down 19.3% from 114,034 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has risen about 18.8%, so a March visit is likely to feel busier than it did a few years ago.
