What March feels like
Hermit Road closes to private vehicles from the first of March and the shuttle takes over, which catches out a lot of visitors. Spring break fills the village mid-month, and the gap between the icy rim and the warm inner canyon is at its widest now — people start down in a fleece and regret it within the hour.
Winter is doing its thing: 8.1 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 3 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
