    Not sure. I haven't been since the fire, but I'll ask my friend and keep you guys posted. I would go and see for myself, but I'm currently in Irvine.

    Just letting you guys know that it is in fact CLOSED. My friend drove up there only to get pulled over and told to turn around. Below is the video of the aftermath. It's unreal...

    I apologize for the late update.

    Nope, I think he only tried the Angeles Crest Highway entrance in La Cañada-Flintridge since we live only a few minutes from it.

    I drove to the Indian Cyn entrance from Soledad Cyn today. There is a large sign in the middle of the road that said trail closed.

    You can drive around it if you want, but its just a temporary sign put there by the fire dept.

    We can always do the pipe line rd but it only takes about 1 hr.

    You can enter on either road, they both connect. The Sequoia entrance is a very steep drop, kinda fun.

    It is mostly hills and the road is not wide enough for going fast (drifting).

    Overall this trail is only 2 miles or so. It does not take much time. Its fun and a good experience but does not warrant a hole day trip unless there is something else near by to do...
