Jobs Peak is in Alpine County, California. It is the most prominent peak visible from the Carson Valley in Douglas County, Nevada. The peak is great for hiking, and backcountry skiing with the view of Lake Tahoe it offers.
There is a new private subdivision at the base of the peak in Carson Valley which has displaced the trail that heads down to Foothill Road, by which the hike from the Carson Valley side is much longer.
