Still closed due to the fire closures the took place in the latter half of last month. Here's is a link showing the current state of the gates/trails. You can see Maple Springs is closed as are all the other access points to Santiago Peak and Main Divide.

I emailed the ranger, it opens tomorrow morning. Have you done the trail before? I've heard it is pretty easy

That's great news. Yes, I have done the trail many times. It's all pretty easy. There some extra credit stuff but the trail itself is easy.

Maple springs is very easy. I use that route to get to the Main Divide since I live in that area. You don’t even need to air down except for comfort.

I usually air down because main divide can be rocky in certain sections.

My advice is to take corners carefully. There as some people who go fast on this trail plus it’s popular with bikers and hikers.

Not really. That is really the only one that I've been on other than Holy Jims but I don't think that is open. You have to drive up to Big Bear and that area for some good ones. I recommend Cleghorn Trail if you want to make the drive. You can pretty much stay on the "fire" road and also challenge yourself on the off shoots if you really want.
 
Just did maple springs and some other stuff up there today. Pretty fun and dusty. I will take a look at cleghorn.

Any trips planned in the future besides the meet ups now that covid is slowing down/going away/gone/insert political words....?

Nothing at the moment except “business” trips for the podcast. We’re beginning to discuss to larger group overnight camping trips and such but still in the planning phases.
