Very easy trail. No special equipment necessary. Packed the microspikes, but didn't use them. The first mile of the trail is muddy in spots, but nothing that requires any skill to maneuver around. The rest of the trail was dry. Saw my first small patch of snow at about 3700' and maybe one more patch beyond that. Totally avoidable. Quick and painless. Decent views from the top of the fire tower. NEHH 63/100.
