“This trail is known by its two parts; only go up Recliner and down Couch.”

— Ryan Schuppert
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Description

This trail starts with the second half of the Recliner climb, which is a steep, old fire road for a while, before turning into steep singletrack. Stay right at the Y intersection half way up to stay on Recliner. Once you top out, you'll be on Couch. This is a fast, steeper downhill with some ruts on all decomposed granite. It's a really fun trail section. It can have lots of pine needles on it depending on the season, so be prepared for some slippery grip.

Steep decent trail. Not very awesome. Follows fall line. Could use flow sections!
