May, June, and September are often considered the most pleasant months. The weather is generally mild, with pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds than in the height of summer.
Do you enjoy hiking? Spring remains the perfect time to wander through nature as it awakens. The season is quieter, and there are fewer crowds.
