__NOTOC__ Little Finland (also known as Hobgoblin’s Playground and Devil’s Fire) is a scenic red rock area, located in a remote section of Clark County, Nevada south of Mesquite, known for its red rock scenery and strangely-shaped, delicate rock formations. The landscape is similar to Valley of Fire State Park, which is about to the west, across Lake Mead. The rock formations are composed of red Navajo Sandstone, fossil sand dunes.〔(Nevada magazine, May/June 2012 )〕 Many of the features are small erosional fins, hence the name. Little Finland is accessible via the BLM Gold Butte Backcountry Byway,〔(BLM Gold Butte Backcountry Byway ) at BLM〕 which also goes through the historic mining town of Gold Butte, Nevada, established in 1908. Other nearby attractions include Whitney Pockets, another scenic red rock area with petroglyphs, and the Devils Throat, a sinkhole.〔 The Gold Butte region is public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The Gold Butte area has seven BLM-designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC).〔(ACEC designations, Gold Butte )〕〔(BLM ACEC map )〕 A proposal to further protect the Gold Butte area was introduced to Congress by Senator Harry Reid in 2013.〔(Gold Butte National Conservation Area with Wilderness Act introduced ) at Friends of Gold Butte, June 6, 2013〕 Two BLM wilderness areas are nearby. The Lime Canyon Wilderness 〔(Lime Canyon Wilderness ) at BLM〕 borders Little Finland and the west side of the Gold Butte Byway loop.〔 The Jumbo Springs Wilderness 〔( Jumbo Springs Wilderness ) at BLM〕 is south of the Gold Butte townsite.〔 ==Gallery== File:Jaws (5730281045).jpg|"Jaws", Little Finland File:Little Finland (6260411765).jpg|Fin, Little Finland File:Ghoul in the Rock (6208028496).jpg|Whitney Pockets 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Little Finland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
