Jobs Peak is the first crown to catch the sun every day. It’s also the one that’s captured Kate’s heart since childhood, the mountain she shares with adrenaline junkies in search of a healthy serving of jaw-dropping views and means for justifying the inevitable Basque meal at the end of the day. Raw, real and unprocessed. That’s how life rolls in Carson Valley.

If you’re looking for someone who has all the dirt on what trails to hit in Carson Valley, you can’t do better than riding shotgun with Kate, who has a special affection for Jobs Peak — the mountain that captured her heart since childhood. She and her trusted lab know the lay of the land like the back of her glove.
