Jobs Peak Ranch Trail



The Jobs Peak Ranch Trail is generally considered the first 1.4 miles from the Jobs Peak Ranch Trailhead that is located on an easement through private land. This trail is open to hikers only and dogs must be leashed year-round. No bikes. This is a conditional requirement of the trail easement across private land. Please follow these regulations to keep this trail open to the public. The trail then continues through USFS and BLM public land and connects to the Fay-Luther trail system and trailhead. The entire length of this trail between the two trailheads is 3.4 miles.

This is a sandy trail traveling through high desert vegetation including Big Sagebrush and Bitterbrush. It then climbs upward into forested vegetation, crosses a small creek with cable steps and travels through a small, lush riparian area. After a short, steep climb, it continues across a private road and reaches public land about 100 yards past the road crossing. There is no trail access to Jobs Peak. Please stay on designated trails only and respect neighboring private property.

Directions: From the intersection of Hwy 395 and Hwy 88 in Minden, drive south on Hwy 88 for 2.0 miles. Turn right at the stop light onto Mottsville Lane. Continue driving all the way to the 4-way stop intersection at Foothill Road. Turn left on Foothill Road and drive 2.5 miles. The signed Jobs Peak Ranch Trailhead is located on the right side of the road.

The Fay-Luther Trailhead is located 2.0 miles past the Jobs Peak Ranch Trailhead on Foothill Road.
