Little Finland—also called Hobgoblin Playground—is a pocket of wind-carved Aztec Sandstone fins, mushrooms, and windows in Gold Butte National Monument. The remote formations reward high-clearance travel beyond Whitney Pocket and see few crowds. Stay on existing tracks; the rock is fragile and shade is scarce in summer heat.
