Day trips at peak comfort: Antelope Canyon's iconic light beams start appearing mid-March (the famous beams only happen May-September noon hour, but March visits avoid the peak crowds). Grand Canyon West at perfect hiking temperature. Red Rock Canyon at peak wildflower bloom (the desert briefly turns purple, yellow, and red).
The smart-value March move: target the first two weeks (pre-March Madness, pre-spring-break) and you get spring-perfect weather at moderate weekday rates.
