As daytime temperatures increase, the snow in many regions will start to melt, opening up inaccessible trails and parks during the winter months. Considering these fluctuating temperatures when planning hikes is essential, as morning and evening can still be quite chilly.
Rain is another factor to consider when hiking in March. While the amount of rain varies depending on the region, showers do not often pop up during a hike. While this can be a drawback for some, it can also lead to beautiful, lush landscapes and waterfalls that are not as prevalent during dryer months.
