March is typically one of the snowiest months in Colorado, so it’s a great time of year to dive into your favorite sports like snowshoeing, skiing and ice fishing, or try something new.

Snowstorms in March can be met with warmer temperatures, so it is a glorious time to enjoy Colorado’s cobalt blue skies and sunshine. If playing in the snow isn’t your thing, you may also prefer indoor activities away from unpredictable March weather, here are some ideas for things to do in Colorado in March:

March 1-11: Try snowshoeing in Rocky Mountain National Park

The National Park Service offers free snowshoe walks with a park ranger where you’ll first learn how to put on snowshoes and then how to move safely on the snow. Once basics are covered, the group heads into the park and adventure begins. Reservations are required and you will need to rent snowshoes ahead of time.

March 3-12: Embrace your inner foodie by attending Denver Restaurant Week
