What to pack

What March feels like

Oversnow travel wraps up in early March and the park slips into a strange in-between — plows working the interior roads while everything stays shut to cars. Bears start coming out of dens this month, which is the first honest sign the season has turned.

Winter is doing its thing: 10.9 in of snow in a typical March, with fresh snow on about 7 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
