As winter slowly gives way to spring, March in Estes Park offers a truly unique experience. The town is quieter, the landscapes are breathtaking, and outdoor adventures are plentiful. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, a romantic getaway, or an outdoor escape, Taharaa Mountain Lodge is the perfect place to experience the beauty of early spring in the Rockies.

Why Visit Estes Park in March?

1. The Best of Both Seasons

March is the perfect mix of winter’s final snowfalls and the first signs of spring. You can wake up to frost-kissed mountain peaks and crisp air while enjoying longer, sunnier afternoons. It’s the ideal time for snowshoeing in the morning and hiking in the afternoon.

2. A Crowd-Free Escape

Unlike the busy summer and fall months, March in Estes Park is peaceful and uncrowded. You can explore the town, enjoy scenic drives, and visit Rocky Mountain National Park without the peak-season traffic.

3. Wildlife Watching

As the temperatures warm up, wildlife becomes more active. Elk, deer, and bighorn sheep can often be spotted roaming near the lodge and throughout the park. Birdwatchers will also enjoy seeing migratory species returning as spring arrives.

4. Cozy Mountain Lodge Experience

At Taharaa Mountain Lodge, guests can relax by the fireplace, soak in stunning mountain views, and enjoy a quiet retreat from everyday life. Our warm and inviting atmosphere makes it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

5. Dining at Twin Owls Steakhouse

Nothing completes a day in the mountains like a hearty, delicious meal at Twin Owls Steakhouse. From perfectly cooked steaks to fresh, seasonal dishes, it’s the ideal way to warm up and indulge after a day of adventure.
