Trail Overview
Goemmers Gem was just that, a gem of a trail to end a long day on dirt! This trail will lead to your exit if you're exploring the Date Creek Ranch area. This trail is wide and smooth, you will not have to worry about pinstriping on this trail. There are some spots that get a bit more toward the rocky side of things, but nothing to be concerned about. The entire trail has plenty of room to pass, with widths between 1.5 and 2 lanes wide, all the way to the Goemmers Property. There are wash crossings along this trail, but the sand in the bottom of the washes seems to be packed well and is solid, and the entrances and exits are not bad or steep. The views in this area are great, especially toward the mountains. The trail terminates at a large open flat area that is on a brief hill above the main area that is private. There is little to no cell service out here, so offline maps are recommended.

Difficulty
This trail seems to be at least semi-graded and maintained, though not sure how regularly that happens. There are no major obstacles on this wide, mostly smooth trail, and even the water damage and erosion are few and far between. There is plenty of room to pass and/or turn around without going off the established path. Remember, if you do happen to have to leave the trail, please remember to TREAD LIGHTLY as this environment is fragile and is prone to lasting damage.
