The directions link below drops a pin on the trailhead coordinates and lets Google Maps pick the route. If the drive has rough roads or access issues that GPS nav might get wrong, I cover that in my trip report.

Trip report

Sep 30, 2014 — The Little Rocky City Loop is a cute little hike that explores the crevases and rock formations of this named feature. The name likely comes from the mild resemblance of city streets that weave in and out of the rock pillars. The start of the loop is located at the end of Little Rock City Forest Road, then follows a trail that drops slightly to below the rock features. It then heads north and returns along the dirt road you drove in on. You can explore various crevases that aren't along the official trail. There's a bunch of cool mossy stuff to see.
