Messing around with calendars, it looks like we'll be aiming for the very end of March (have a family wedding in South Texas and may make it one big trip). Weather websites say the daytimes will be cool (which is actually pretty attractive to us) but usually not cold-cold.

Maybe a dumb question, but is there still likely to be snow on the ground at 7500-8500' in March?

And thanks for all the feedback.
