Mountain Biking Llama Trail
#40 of 416 mountain bike trails in Arizona
This is some challenging singletrack through the forest & over slickrock up and around a bowl at the base of Lee Mountain. The extremely scenic surroundings make it a bit difficult to keep your eyes on the trail- There are a few bootleg trails in the area but if you stay to the right on this one you will get to the end. The trail climbs a bit for the first mile, first through the forest and then up a bit of a wash until it breaks out into a slickrock bowl near the top. Follow cairns or tracks up and around the slick rock to the left gets you back onto the singletrack starting a downhill grade through the trees. About .7 mi later the trail runs along a natural bench in the rock, at the end of this bench is another Y, go left here if you would like to go straight back to the Bell Rock Pathway. Continuing on for another mile of twisting an turning through the trees the trail will dead end at the Little Horse Tr. You may turn around and ride back on the Llama Tr or take a left here to get back to the B. R. Pathway in .5 mi. This trail has some technical spots, some big drops and is popular with hikers so please pay attention and be courteous. At the B. R. Pathway turn left and ride about 1.5 back to your starting point.

Located between Sedona and Oak Creek the Llama tr is accessed from the Bell Rock Pathway, I suggest parking at the middle Viewpoint parking area on highway 179 between Sedona and Oak Creek although you could park at either end and ride to the Llama trailhead. Can be done as an in & out or a loop using the Bell Rock Pathway. From the middle viewpoint ride north (downhill) on the Bell Rock Pathway for about .4 mi you will pass a few trails on the right that are hiking trails and lead into the wilderness area. Look for a sign labeled Courthouse Butte that someone has come back and scratched in Llama also, take this trail for about 30 yrds and you will come to a trail and sign for the Llama Tr itself (pictured).
