Located in the U.S., Little Finland has nothing to do with Finland. So named for the fin-like appearance of eroded sandstone, it’s a popular attraction at Gold Butte National Monument in Nevada. Nearly 300,000 acres in size, the area is popular for its backcountry hiking, revealing a bevy of surreal rock formations. You can also drive the Gold Butte Backcountry Byway to the area’s namesake mining ghost town, a 62-mile scenic trip that also offers opportunities to see desert wildlife, red and white sandstone, sinkholes, petroglyphs, the Muddy Mountains and Lake Mead.
