Went wheeling and camping with a friend and his daughter for a couple days last week, as part of a longer trip to the Sierras. We had originally planned to wheel the Dusey-Ershim trail, but it was still closed due to the heavy snowfall. So, Plan "B"… head on up to the Red Mountain OHV area above Fresno, CA, where we had found out the trail to Red Lake had literally *just* opened. This trail is rated "moderately" difficult, and is the first part of the trail to Coyote Lake (still closed due to snow, and that trail is rated "difficult").
The first part of the trail was easy, dirt road with a few rough spots, then turning into your typical forest road.
Pretty soon the road disappeared, and we were left with a somewhat more loosely defined version of the word "trail":
