Easy/moderate trail recommendation with no spikes

I am an experienced WMNF summer and fall season hiker. I have a fit out-of-town guest arriving a week from Monday (13-April) who wants to experience something in WMNF. Looking at the trail reviews for some of my “go-tos” for guests, both Welch-Dickey and Mt. Pemigewasset both seem to still require traction assistance, at least as of a few days ago. A recent report of an injury at Sabbaday Falls reinforces the importance of planning ahead for traction.

Do you have any recommendations for easy/moderate hikes that might not require traction this early in the season?

Thanks in advance!
