First trail I’ve been on and it was pretty fun. There were a couple other people on the trail but nothing crazy. Some bushes are overgrown so I got some scratches but nothing major

Wet but still open. Some puddles but not much mud as the trail is mostly gravel.

Trail was mostly in good condition. There was the occasional rut, but the gravel road is mostly smooth. There is a fairly short section where the bushes are overgrown on both sides. SUVs and trucks will rub, but likely not enough to pinstripe the paint. Narrower/smaller vehicles could likely squeeze through. There are plenty of places to move around vehicles heading the opposite direction.
