What to pack

What March feels like

March is relentlessly wet, and every system adds to the snowpack that will fill the waterfalls in May. The high-country roads stay closed, chains still travel in the trunk, and the Valley floor turns to slush and mud.

Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. about 14 nights dip below freezing.
