Trail is popular for a reason. It’s a great hike up to some beautiful vistas. Some avalanche lilies and baby wildflowers peeking out. Rhododendron on the lower part of the trail probably will be in bloom in another month. The upper 1/2-1/3 of the trail still has snow but the summit is 95% clear of snow. We used poles and our hiking boots just fine. Microspikes would be fine too but not required if you have poles.
