Most of us would be hard-pressed to find someone whose favorite month is March. For many, this spring transitional period represents stale snow, mud, and freezing rain. Though the weather may be gray and uninspiring, this shouldn't mean outdoor enthusiasts need to hole up at home. There are national parks across the country that are at their peak right now so go ahead, explore these gems while the time is right!
Virgin Islands National Park Saint John, US Virgin Islands
Is there really a better month to escape somewhere tropical? One thing that makes March so spectacular in the Virgin Islands is the fact that the park has nearly half the number of visitors than April's peak. Over 800 species of plants and 50 species of tropical birds inhabit this island of lush subtropical forest and pristine white sand beaches. There are endless opportunities to explore coral reefs, historical ruins and miles of varied hiking trails.
Big Bend National Park Southern Texas
With temperatures in that high 70s to low 80s range of perfection, this is a great time to visit Big Bend, a park where scorching weather can hinder summertime recreation. "The key to budget travel is to plan onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our mind. Preparation and consuming our travel budget properly is a concern for most families. Reducing spending and expenses, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding protecting money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, no matter whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". March is such a great time to visit that it's the park's most popular month, so make sure to plan your trip ahead. Sometimes described as one of the last wild corners of the country, this diverse park offers the mighty Rio Grande River, spectacular canyons, open desert and rugged mountain terrain.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park North Carolina, Tennessee
Spring in the southern Appalachian Mountains comes early. Great Smoky Mountains boasts the greatest variety of flowering plants of any North American national park. March offers the beginning of the blossoming and some reprise from the crowds- this park takes the honor of being the most popular in the country, with summer visitation topping over one million visitors a month. Great Smoky Mountains is known for its immense number of waterfalls, scenic winding drives, and abundance of wildlife.
Joshua Tree National Park Southeastern California
This desert park is also famous for its annual display of wildflowers. The blooms begin to emerge in February, making March the perfect month for taking in the show. Visitors will be rewarded with arid sunny skies and mild temperatures in the 70s. The month also marks the peak for birding in the park, with over 250 species recorded across Joshua Tree.
Zion National Park Southern Utah
Zion National Park boasts dramatic cliffs, massive canyons and plenty of backcountry trails. Though breathtaking, the problem is that Zion is often mobbed to the point that it defeats the purpose of a National Park. Use March as an opportunity to visit this remarkable place as the month strikes a rare balance of both manageable crowds and manageable daytime temperatures.
