There is a gate at the trailhead blocking motorized vehicles. Just before the gate, find the trail that branches out on the right. Take this trial and follow it. It eventually climbs a narrow drainage towards a saddle. There are a few hundred feet of sand to cross below the saddle. At the saddle, follow the use trail up the southeast ridge and eventually cross the ridge. Then, cross a broad open slope leading to the summit.

Jobs Sister (10,823 ft.) is an easy 1-mile traverse on a use trail leading from Freel Peak’s summit. There is a large field of white quartz resembling snow on Jobs Sister’s west slope

As an alternate route, turn right at the junction at 0.5 mile. Proceed another 0.5 mile, crossing a meadow and Trout Creek, then climb up the west side of Freel Peak’s south ridge. There are a few hundred feet of mild bushwhacking before reaching the Tahoe Rim Trail. Head left (north) along the trail, eventually reaching the saddle. From the saddle, proceed to the summit as described above.
