maybe!!
i called the lytle creek ranger station and the ranger said that the trail was open as of sept 21!
she said it was open for offroading but that right now is hunting season, and that i probably don't want to go in right now (guess she doesn't trust hunters). anyways, she said that it was not open all the way but that it was closed at the campground. however, she sounded like an old lady who was clueless so maybe she was wrong. i drove by the entrance last week and saw a work truck going up the trail, but i didnt notice if the gate was open. i wont be able to check it out until next week. if someone else in the area can check if the gate is open, please post up!

Cucamonga Big Tree Trail
From Dirtopia, The Off-Road Encyclopedia
This trail was burnt in the fires of 2004 and was closed in 2005. On 9/21/08, the eastern end of this trail was re-opened. This easily traveled portion of the trail starts at Lytle Creek Road and ends at the Joe Elliot Campground
The remainder of the trail is questionable if it will ever be re-opened. Due to erosion, a section of the trail is reportedly completely gone due to a landslide in Calamity Canyon.
The part that has been re-opened is commonly known as the San Sevaine Trail. The trail has wonderful views of the Inland Empire as well as some brief views of the Cajon Pass and the high desert region. The trail is only open from the day after Labor Day until March 1st or the first heavy snowfall.
In addition to the great views, there is a piece of history hidden along the trail in the form of native indian morteros. These holes in the stones are formed by years of grinding acorns for meal by the natives of the mountains.
