Temperatures are comfortable for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing without the intensity of winter cold or the occasional spring showers. This period also generally aligns with the opening of seasonal businesses and visitor services, ensuring you have the best experience.For those interested in birdwatching, particularly during the spring and autumn migrations, May and September are particularly good.
