March Activities

Early Spring Hiking

March is the time to explore lower elevation trails that are opening up as the snow melts. The trails around Dutch John offer stunning views, and with fewer visitors than summer, you can enjoy them in peace. Be prepared for muddy sections and bring appropriate footwear.

Wildlife Emergence

As the weather warms, wildlife becomes more active. Deer are frequently spotted grazing in meadows, and birds return from their winter migrations. March is an excellent month for wildlife photography, as animals are more active during the warmer parts of the day.

Planning Summer Adventures

Use your March visit to scout out trails and activities for when you return in summer. Talk to local guides, gather maps, and make a plan for your next visit during the warmer months.

Cabin Getaways

March is an ideal time for a relaxing cabin getaway. The snow is melting but the temperatures are still cool enough to enjoy the swim spa without feeling guilty about not being outside. Its the perfect shoulder season for those who want to avoid crowds but enjoy comfortable weather.

Photography Opportunities

March offers unique photographic opportunities that you wont find at other times of year. The mix of snow, green grass, and wildflowers creates stunning compositions. The soft spring light is perfect for landscape photography, and the variable weather means you might capture dramatic sky scenes.
