Little Rock City is one of several "rock cities" in Cattaraugus County. They are huge conglomerate beds of rock with narrow passages and caves between.

The thing that struck me most about Little Rock City is that from the road and parking lot, the rocks weren't readily visible. After walking a few feet, however, I noticed a "crack" in the moss-covered ground. Looking down, I realized I was standing on a massive flat-topped boulder! Descending from that point, we found ourselves in the "city".

Directions:

From U.S route 219: turn onto Hungry Hollow road (near Green Gables Villiage), take all the way to the top of the hill and make a left (road is unmarked and has a yellow swing gate near it). Take the road all the way to the end.

Thanks to my husband Karl for generating a map of the region.
