Near Fay Luther/Jobs Peak Ranch Trail
Jobs Peak Trail. About 1-2 miles in. The beauty if this trail is in the vistas of Carson Valley and views of the Eastern Sierras. Go on a day with cumulous clouds in the sky. The desert brush is gorgeous too.

Description
I hiked the first 2 miles of this. Very easy trail. In the fall, the brush is gorgeous. The vistas of Carson Valley are breathtaking and you get a very expansive view of the Eastern Sierras. So this is a 10. But the trail goes through a lot of private property and alongside fences with signs posting to keep out, which detracted from the hike. The trail through the forest is only so, so, nothing great.
