Early spring is when you can enjoy iconic landscapes in manageable temperatures for less money than peak seasons, so I think it’s a win-win! From traveling around during March, here are my favourite spots to explore…
1. Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve
For a truly awe-inspiring experience, I’d recommend taking the winding dirt road through Antelope Valley in Southern California. Here, blankets of poppies carpet the ground in flames of red and orange, and 8 miles of foot trails weave through the captivating blooms.
Sadly, I can’t second-guess Mother Nature, and weather conditions greatly influence the poppy crop. Still, they typically bloom for ten weeks between late February and early May and peak for around three weeks between late March and early April.
Witnessing this breathtaking display is unforgettable in a good year. I suggest staying informed by checking the Antelope Valley Nature Preserve website as your visit approaches, ensuring you have the most up-to-date information on the flowers and their blooming status.

- Checking out an exhibit at the Jane S. Pinheiro Interpretive Center filled with botanical watercolor paintings.
2. New Orleans, Louisiana
If, like me, you are a lover of literature, arts, and culture but not a fan of scorching heat and crowds, visit New Orleans this month. The city embraces the transition into spring with the big Mardi Gras celebrations beginning to wind down and many wonderful festivals emerging to replace them.
The Tennessee Williams Literary Festival brings together budding writers and established playwrights for a program of masterclasses and performances of original works, culminating with the famous ‘Stella’ shouting competition in The French Quarter.
The LGBTQIA community celebrates its literary heritage in the famous Saints and Sinners festival, which also takes place this month. Wednesday at the Square and Buku Festivals curate unique, immersive musical talents; plenty is going on for foodies, too.
New Orleans is a vibrant city that embodies the spirit of springtime, so it is no surprise that this is the perfect time to enjoy it! I would also recommend staying in one of the many interesting boutique hotels, making your stay even more special.
- Visitors’ Centre Address: 339 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70130

- Getting a tourist pass and enjoying a discount on various activities and attractions across the city.
- Watching a musical production at the famous and historic venue, Saenger Theatre.
3. Golden Isles, Georgia
The Golden Isles are four beautiful barrier islands between Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida. The islands rise out of a vast area of marshlands, giving the appearance of one continuous stretch.
The Isles are a melting pot of cultures, and this is what I love about it! During this month, gentle breezes and spring sunshine make it the perfect time to get out and explore nature before it becomes too hot and crowded.
I recommend strolling through shady woodland, picnicking on sandy beaches, and watching the sun sink over the horizon – bliss!
Go nature spotting for rare Leatherback turtles, a plethora of birds, and leaping dolphins, or relax and enjoy some boutique shopping in Pier Village or fine dining in the quaint village of Redfern.
For original Victorian architecture and speciality shopping and dining, I suggest visiting historic downtown Brunswick, where brownstone townhouses and bright-colored awnings lend an old-fashioned vintage feel.
- Visitor Centre Address: 529 Beachview Dr, St Simons Island, GA 31522

- Average temperature – 21 degrees
My highlights…

- Visiting Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island and watching a spectacular colorful sky as the sun set.
4. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
It’s not always sunny in Philadelphia, but there’s a good chance it will be bright and fresh this month. I personally think this is the perfect time to visit the city, temperatures average around 12 degrees in the day so take a jacket you’ll be fine!
In my opinion, one of the loveliest sights this time of year is the swathes of cherry blossoms in West Fairmount Park. Here, you can enjoy a picnic and admire the manicured lawns, or stroll around the tranquil Japanese House and whimsical ponds and waterfalls, all under a fragrant canopy of blossom trees.
The springtime is also a great time to enjoy a craft beer in the early spring sunshine so I would highly recommend visiting one of the city’s many breweries and taking in some of the lovely historical streets in neighborhoods like Spring Gardens.
It’s also a great time to enjoy some local artists’ work in progress at Cherry Street Pier and hang out with arty types along the wonderful waterfront.
Drive-in movies are also a big thing in Philly; the milder temperatures mean lots of opportunities to see old and new cool films in this classic American way!
- Visitor Centre Address: 599 Market St, Philadelphia, PA 19106
- Map Location
- Average temperature – 12 degrees
My favorite highlights…

- Trying the unique Dining in The Dark blindfolded tasting experience!
- Visiting the eclectic indoor marketplace inspired by Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
5. Fairbanks, Alaska
Fairbanks is a truly vibrant river city in the very North of Alaska. It serves as the perfect base camp for the wilderness of Denali National Park…6 million acres of alpine forests, snow-capped mountains, and untouched nature.
The icy temperatures mean the crowds tend to come here in the summer, but in spring, you can see the city and surroundings at their finest, under the breathtaking colors of The Northern Lights!
It is also the season of midnight sun, endless sunsets and sunrises, and the World Ice Art Competition. I would also recommend enjoying the ice museum, hot springs, hot coffee, and many unique adventure sports!
I also suggest trying your hand at Ice Skating, Cross Country Skiing, or safely spotting wildlife in the wilderness. If you are lucky, you might see Grizzly Bears, Black Bears, Wolves, Moose and Caribou, and maybe even a golden eagle!
- Visitor Centre Address: 101 Dunkel St, Fairbanks, AK 99701
- Map Location
- Average temperature – -3 to -19 degrees
My highlights…
- Taking an Aurora tour or overnight experience to catch the magical dancing northern lights.
- Warming up at the Chena Hot Springs in the outdoor pool surrounded by the fresh, crisp snow.
- Checking out the sculptures created by artists from all over the world at the World Ice Art Competition.
6. Texas Hill Country
The Hill Country stretches splendidly between San Antonio and Austin, encompassing beautiful landscapes, historic towns and villages, natural wonders, and amazing wineries.
During this month the temperatures are pleasant and the wildflowers are in full bloom, especially the Texas Bluebonnets, lupin-like and a stunning shade of electric blue they are the official state flower.
Nestled amongst meadows of wildflowers and gentle hills are several stunning historical towns of German heritage. There are many to choose from, depending on your preferences. I personally think Boerne is a great town with a wonderful cavern at its center and lots of quaint boutique shops and cafes lining its Main Street.
The very German city of Fredericksburg oozes Bavarian charm. Kerrville is one of the oldest settlements in Texas and is perfect for history buffs. Finally, I suggest not missing Lake McQueene, which has waters that are perfect for swimming. You don’t want to miss it!
The Texans love spring, so as you travel through Hill Country, expect plenty of cook-offs, festivals, and cultural events to keep you entertained!

- Driving through the Willow City Loop, which comes alive with color from the beautiful flowers.
7. Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts
I would highly recommend avoiding the hordes of deep-pocketed tourists and visiting this iconic destination in the springtime! This month is a wonderful time to visit Cape Cod, as it is when the majestic humpback whales reside in the blue waters around the islands.
Averaging between 40 and 50 feet long, seeing these amazing creatures propel themselves out of the water is something you’ll never forget!
It won’t be hot, but that’s the trade-off of having the place virtually for yourself! Aside from the whales, I recommend just kicking back and enjoying the idyllic beaches, quaint fishing villages, sun-bleached harbor towns, and historic lighthouses for a much more reasonable price than during peak season.
You can also check out some of the legendary filming locations for Jaws on Martha’s Vineyard and get a glimpse of some of the crazy multi-million dollar summer estates of the rich and famous, all without battling through the crowds!

- Going on a guided tour to see historic sites such as Oldest House, The Old Mill, and Greater Light.
8. Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas
The park is now a beautiful expanse of unique landscapes carved out by Cedar Creek and packed with unusual bluffs and canyons. It also has an impressive 95-ft waterfall that tumbles from the 100-acre Lake Bailey, created by Damming the Creek.
This month’s weather is temperate, the trees bloom, and the sunsets are spectacular. Temperatures hover around 17 degrees this time of year.
There are several rustic cabins and the central Mather Lodge, all built in the 1930s and available for accommodation, as well as designated camping and glamping, so I recommend choosing one for a truly cozy vacation!
Many gorgeous trails traverse the park and there is boating and Kayaking on Bailey Lake as well as two outdoor pools. I honestly think it’s the perfect accessible spring escape for outdoors lovers who find bigger parks daunting.
- Visitor’s Center Address: 1285 Petit Jean Mountain Rd, Morrilton, AR 72110

- Average temperature – 17 degrees
My favorite highlights…

- Capturing an Insta-worthy shot underneath the Natural Bridge along Seven Hollows Trail created from a rock formation.
- Hiking down to the base of Cedar Falls to admire one of the biggest waterfalls in the state.
9. The Tidal Basin, Washington D.C.
Each Spring, Washington D.C. ‘s tidal basin is transformed by acres of pink and white cherry blossoms, and I highly recommend a visit around this time!
Thousands of tourists are drawn to the nation’s capital yearly to witness the spectacle! Usually, the tree’s peak bloom is late March through early April.
To avoid heavy crowds and maximize beautiful photo opportunities, I recommend visiting the Tidal Basin early in the morning and catching the sun rising over D.C.’s iconic marbled monuments under blankets of fragrant petals!
Then, I suggest using the rest of the day to explore the amazing city full of green spaces, awe-inspiring architecture, and wonderful museums and sculpture gardens. If you have limited time, I recommend an open-top bus that will take you around all the famous presidential monuments and Arlington Cemetary.
I would recommend visiting some historic districts such as Georgetown, a famous university with atmospheric steps used in The Exorcist and DuPont Circle for eclectic nightlife, exciting dining, and wonderful art in The Phillips Collection.
- Visitor’s Centre Address: 1501 Maine Ave SW, Washington, Phone (202) 479-2426

- Renting a paddleboat and enjoying some time spent relaxing on the calm water.

10. Kauai, Hawaii
A top vacation spot, I personally think this is the perfect time to enjoy Kauai’s lush vegetation and beautiful beaches without the summer crowds.
Although Kauai is the wettest of the Hawaiian islands and March is still considered the rainy season, the rain typically comes in short bursts and the sun quickly returns.
If you aim for the end of the month you will likely experience little rain, warm temperatures, and lower prices as peak season begins in April. Although Kauai is small it is not called’ The Garden Island’ for nothing and its abundance of colorful blooms will not fail to delight!
Expect palm-fringed beaches, crystal clear waters, unique multi-colored canyons, rare wildlife, and plunging waterfalls…a little slice of paradise infused with the famed ‘Aloha’ spirit!
- Visitor’s Centre Address: 4-484 Kuhio Highway Kapaa, Hawaii, 96746. Phone 808-822-5113

- Kayaking around Hanalei Bay, I also enjoyed a delicious meal while watching the sunset.
- Flying through through the native forests on a zipline which was a very adrenaline-pumping experience!
11. Fontainebleau State Park, Louisiana
Treat yourself to a stay in an iconic wooden cabin on stilts in this beautiful State Park that stretches for 2,800 acres along the crystal shores of Lake Pontchartrain.
Historically a sugar plantation, Fontainebleau was named after the forest near Paris, the place of choice for centuries of French kings in their leisure time.
Of course, we commoners can enjoy the many peaceful pastimes on offer in the Louisiana version, it’s a popular spot for all things aquatic; boating, canoeing, swimming, and personally I would highly recommend just sunbathing on the unspoiled sandy beaches.
Visitors can stroll beneath the centuries-old oak trees and native cypresses or walk along the wooden pier to admire the lake’s crystal waters.
During this month, the temperature is warm and the humidity fairly low, which makes it the perfect time to explore the 27 miles of hiking and biking trails along the Tammany Chase, which follows the route of the old railroad tracks.
I suggest bringing a picnic for a beautiful, tranquil day in idyllic surroundings, unbelievably less than an hour away from New Orleans!
- Visitor’s Center Address: 62883 LA-1089, Mandeville, LA 70448

- Average temperature – 22 degrees
My favorite highlights…
- Renting a paddleboard from Bayou Adventure and spending time on the water.
- Spending a day at the beach and swimming and sunbathing.
- Exploring the nature trails.
12. Providence Canyon, Georgia
Georgia gets very hot in peak summer season and as it is not a massive park it can also get very crowded. For easier hiking temperatures and uncluttered photographs of the beautiful ‘Little Grand Canyon’ I think this month is the perfect month for a visit.
The park’s rock faces are especially spectacular due to the 143 varied shades that range from orange and red hues to pure white; catching the sun sinking behind them is a really special sight.
Visitors can enjoy 10 miles of trails that circumnavigate the canyon rim and take in some of the park’s other wonders, such as the cascading Providence waterfalls and the strange shells of old 1950s automobiles that are relics of another era.
For perfect clear night skies, I would highly recommend camping out in one of the areas around the canyons and witnessing the wonder of the stars without any light pollution to obscure them!
- Visitor’s Center Address: 8930 Canyon Rd, Lumpkin, GA 31815

- Visiting Dick’s Creek Falls, a stunning spot located just outside the park.
- Hiking along the Canyon Loop Trail and seeing the incredible nine canyons along the 2.5-mile path with scenic landscapes.
13. Atlanta, Georgia
Summer temperatures in Atlanta are pretty intense, so I personally think early spring is the perfect time to take advantage of this southern gem. As the Southeast’s cultural hub Atlanta is positively teeming with creativity, arts, and mind-blowing history, it’s also a foodie heaven!
Both buildings are now part of The Martin Luther King JR National Historical Park, and I think it’s a great place to stroll in springtime! Another beautiful place to admire this month in bloom is The Atlanta Botanical Gardens, whose landscaped grounds are budding with color in early spring.
The foodie scene in Atlanta reflects this passion and fusion of cultures and famous southern hospitality; you can find delicious and innovative food at every turn. I suggest leaving space for some Georgia Bourbon Pecan Pie from Pie Shop Downtown!
- Visitor’s Center Address: 267 Park Ave W NW, Atlanta, GA 30303

14. Saguaro National Park, Arizona
Saguaro National Park is named for the iconic giant cactuses known to grow up to 78ft tall, although the average height is about 40ft. Walking amidst these giants, especially as the sun sinks below the horizon, is an eerie and wonderful experience. For a great view of the Saguaro Forest, I suggest hiking up to the Valley View Overlook, which offers an amazing panoramic view of the Cacti.
If you want to get in amongst them, I would also recommend the Mica View Loop, which takes you right through the middle of these amazing plants!
This month, you have the bonus of all the beautiful wildflowers in bloom, splashing the desert landscape with color. You’ll also find ancient petroglyphs and an array of wildlife, from bobcats to venomous Gila Monsters…I’d suggest giving both a respectably wide berth!
Remember the park covers almost 100,000 acres and is split in two by the city of Tucson, for the best cactus action I suggest heading for the smaller western portion.
- Visitor’s Center Address: 2700 N Kinney Road, Tucson, AZ
- Map Location
- Average temperatures – 24 degrees
My highlights…
- Exploring a variety of cacti through the winding path at the Cactus Garden Trail located at the visitor center.
- Capturing a shot of a huge cactus on a hiking trail.
- Taking a trip to Rincon Mountains for breathtaking views overlooking the unique cacti-filled landscape.
15. Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park, Kansas
The badlands are a vast acreage of ancient wilderness that will take you back to when the Oglala Sioux tribe occupied the lands.
The landscape is arid and strange, with rare Niobrara Chalk outcrops rising from flat prairies like temples. The name ‘Little Jerusalem’ refers to a mile-long collection of these white rocks that rise in awe-inspiring 100 ft spires and cliffs, bringing to mind the ancient city.
During this month the temperature is mild and humidity low so I think it’s a great time to hike one of the two permanent trails and treat yourself to the best views without navigating summer crowds.
Aside from Little Jerusalem, there have been traces of life dating back as far as 85 million years, so I highly recommend looking out for amazing fossils of ancient giant clams and oysters!
- Visitor’s Center Address: County Road 400 and Gold Road, Oakley, KS 67748

16. San Diego, California
I think San Diego is awesome for many reasons: it’s beautiful, laid back, rich in maritime history, and surrounded by gorgeous swathes of ocean and parkland!
During this month you can catch some amazing festivals such as Paddy’s Day and The Annual San Diego Latino Film Festival and enjoy the city’s many outdoor delights in the sunshine.
You’ll also get better rates on flights and accommodation by avoiding peak season For totally chilled-out bohemian vibes I highly recommend Ocean Beach for cheap and delicious Mexican food, killer margaritas, and a real new wave ‘summer of love’/ surfy atmosphere.
Just out of the city, nature lovers will delight at the carpets of wildflowers in Anza Borrego Desert State Park or the flower fields at Carlsbad Ranch. It is also the perfect time to catch the immense Gray Whales on their migration back north.
I would suggest driving along the historic Route 101 and seeing how many you can spot or taking an organized tour from the marina.
- Visitor’s Centre Address: 996 N Harbor Dr, San Diego, Phone: (619) 236-1242

17. Arches National Park, Utah
With intolerable summer temperatures of up to 100 degrees, The Arches National Park’s peak season is often unbearable for those not accustomed to the heat.
Add crowds to that; no matter how fabulous the landscape is, it can be a miserable experience! I personally think it’s wiser instead to head to the iconic park in early spring when temperatures are far more pleasant, and the crowds are yet to arrive.
The Arche’s strange prehistoric landscape has become synonymous with Utah, and the instantly recognizable ‘Delicate Arch’ is now the symbol for the whole state. With over 2000 of these otherworldly stone arches and relics of the nomadic Ute tribe, there is plenty to explore across the 119 square miles of the reserve!
Most trails are short and accessible except The Devils Garden Primitive Trail, which requires a slightly more seasoned hiker. For the ultimate Arches experience, I recommend trying to hit the park at sunset and seeing the whole thing cast in an ethereal orange glow. It is absolutely beautiful!
- Visitor’s Centre Address: Ut-211, Canyonlands National Park, Moab, UT 84532, +1 435-259-4711

18. Palm Springs, California
If you fancy yourself a bit of a hipster you’d better get to Palm Springs, a cool and artsy city long favored by the Hollywood jet-set for its glamorous elegance, sunshine, and healing springs.
The city, nestled in the beautiful Coachella Valley between 4 mountain ranges is particularly notable for its many examples of mid-century modern architecture, swanky boutique shopping, and world-class art….and golf of course.
While you’re there, I would suggest you don’t miss the amazing aerial tramway for stunning views across the entire valley, perhaps a mountaintop lunch, or the amazing Sunnylands Public Gardens and Mansion.
Although much of the mid-century architecture belongs to private owners you can still take in some amazing examples by taking a tour through the Tennis Club and Araby Cove districts.
There are so many things to do but a visit to Palm Springs would not be complete without making the most of alfresco dining in the city’s beautiful restaurants…my little tip, go for ones that are tucked away off main tourist routes and you’ll get superior quality for a fraction of the price.

19. Sedona, Arizona
The desert town of Sedona near Flagstaff, Arizona, is America’s answer to Glastonbury. During this month, I think hikers will delight in the perfect temperatures, rust-colored trails, and wildflowers in full bloom.
Surrounded by majestic red rock buttes and ancient pine forests, the town has become a haven for people in search of spiritual and metaphysical healing. The streets are lined with new-age shops and Native American-inspired treatment centers. I personally love it!
Sedona is believed to have several ‘Vortexes’, swirling centers of energy emanating from the red rocks. It is regarded as a cathedral without walls or a natural henge.
Here you can expect to find yoga retreats, hippy rituals, and all forms of spiritual healing, it is said that no matter what brings you to Sedona you will always feel lighter and brighter with your spirit soothed, uplifted, and restored!

20. Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas
A great location for hikers or adventure vacation, Palo Duro Canyon on the Texas Panhandle is the second largest Canyon in the country and I personally think this is a great time to visit for warm temperatures, fewer crowds and less rain too!
The park’s most iconic rock formation is called the lighthouse. It rises out of the ground in 300 ft of splendid rust-colored rock…in my opinion, the hugely popular lighthouse trail is the best way to view it and get amazing views out over the canyon.
I think it’s also worth extending your stay to overnight in one of the camping or glamping sites, as the night skies in this part of the world are truly phenomenal!
I would suggest looking out for the unmistakable herds of protected Texas Longhorn cattle that roam freely across the land. Adventure lovers might want to try the terrifying zip line that crosses the canyon between Dallas and New Mexico.
- Visitor’s Centre Address: State Hwy Park Rd 5, Canyon, TX 79015
