Stagecoach - Freel - Job's Peak Canyon
Out of Kingsbury to Star Lake; up Freel; descent towards Job's Sister; right hand flank to lip of Job's Peak Canyon - descent down through Job's Peak Canyon to trail head on Foothill Road near Minden/Gardnerville.
Suggestion - descent through the Canyon is quite challenging - off trail, rock-hopping, manzanita, steep grades. Keep to the right hand on the fringes of the pine trees wherever possible. Gloves/long trousers are useful. Expect 2-4 hours depending on fitness, fatigue, etc to decend completely.

Horse Meadow
Not as bad a slog from the south as I had envisioned. Approach from Horse Meadow made for an efficeint of trifecta of Freel, Job's Sister and Job.

Triple Play
Bagged Freel, Jobs Sister and Jobs Peak in a single hike starting from the Jobs peak trail head. A recent snow had left approx 6 inches of snow which remained on north facing slopes. Beautiful views of Tahoe!

Climbed via trout creek
Use trail is actually mostly very clear, with only a few muddy/overgrown sections. But a nice and "straight up" no nonsense route that takes you to a truly A+ view.

Freel
Nice hike up via Armstrong Pass, though haze dulled the views of Tahoe. Then proceeded to Job's Peak, before returning via Freel.

winter solo
GPS went out in the valley between Freel, Jobs Peak, and Jobs Sister. Wound up half-climbing Jobs Peak and then having to trek out after dark.
With Ben, biked part way up TRT, then hiked the rest of the way. Great views, great weather. Went on to Job's Sis. A good birthday hike.

From Jobs/Horse Meadow
2x, Went back up to do Jobs and decided to tag Jobs Sister/Freel while I was up there. Couple thunderstorms rolled through Luther Pass during the trip. Returned via a sand ski down the back slope of Freel.

Highest Point of Tahoe Area
We hiked Freel Peak via Tahoe Rim Trail and back the nice shortcut from the saddle. Had to do some more miles because the road was blocked so we had to leave the car near Meyers.
There was a strange guy at the summit showing off with his revolver - we survived !
