The trail has a few small sections of snow that are easily crossable and were still solid even in the afternoon. A couple weeks and they will be completely melted out. Hiked in regular hiking boots. Did not need gaiters or any additional traction. CFI has done incredible work on this trail and it is very easy to follow up to 13000 feet. Once in the rocky area look for cairns and you will find the top with relative easy.
I measured the RT at closer to 12 miles than the 10.25 listed via my GPS watch.
