Little Finland

I drove the Gold Butte Backcountry Byway (south of Mesquite, NV) to Little Finland which is known for its bizarre rock formations. Although I left early this morning to avoid the high afternoon temperatures, it was already in the mid-90s by the time I arrived at 10:30 a.m. The heat radiating from the rock made hiking very unpleasant so I did not spend as much time exploring the area as I would have liked. This is definitely an adventure you want to experience in the cooler months of the year.

On the way back, I came across this unique structure...
