There are a few trees over the trail, but none of them are difficult to pass. I would say probably 3 overall.
Slushy snow started about a mile in...it was raining the entire time, which made the lower snow slushy and easy to hike. The last 400-500 vertical feet there was probably 1-2 inches of snow. On the steeper parts, microspikes would of been helpful. I was not interested in stopping in the rain to put them on and was able to make it to the top with no problems. On the way down it was a bit slick, but I made it back down without any additional traction as well.
Overall, the trail is in great condition for this time of year.
