Follow Gold Butte Rd. From Bunkerville/Mesquite area until the pavement ends and the road becomes dirt/loose gravel. Turn left (there is a sign) and there are a number of rock formations. These are filled with indents, some windows, and fins. There are pull outs at a few of the formations so you can park and explore.We were at Gold Butte NM for most of a day and saw no one else. There are no facilities and very few signs. Bring water. Do not attempt side roads unless you have an off-road vehicle. Even at the end of September it is still quite hot.

Everything about gold butte is majestic. Bring your camera, lots of water and protection from the sun. A four wheel drive vehicle is a good way to go but many of the sights can be accessed with two wheel drive. A little ground clearance is recommended.

Beautiful red rock formations are found in the Little Finland area of Gold Butte. The red sandstone has formed an amazingly complex, intricate and delicate array of shapes through out the Little Finland area of Gold Butte National Monument. North of "Little Finland, you can find hundreds of ancient petroglyphs at the Falling Man rock art site. A popular area to explore is the Whitney Pockets, home of a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) dam.

I walked in, hair a mess, clothes wrinkled, probably looking like I was coming out from under the nearby bridge. But, I was on a road trip and stopped here for information on Mesquite and surrounds. The attendant basically ignored me when I came in. A couple followed closely behind and she greeted them cheerfully and asked them to sign the guest book. I finally walked up to her and engaged her in a conversation, but she was not at all a good representative for Mesquite or Nevada. I was going to eat in town and go to the museum, but I dissed the area and headed down to Moapa where I had the best meal of my trip at the Muddy River Grill.
