What March feels like

March is the changeover — the ice goes out of the gorge, the boat crews start refitting, and the state park reopens the parts it shut for winter. It's still a raw month with plenty of freezing nights, but you get the falls without the queues.

Expect about 12 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 23 nights dip below freezing.
