What March feels like
March is the park's busiest month and the campgrounds and the one hotel at Furnace Creek book out well ahead. Start early — the canyon hikes and Zabriskie Point at sunrise justify the alarm, and by afternoon the low-elevation trails have lost their charm entirely.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. about 7 afternoons top 90°.
