[ I've heard about soft sands being a problem in the last few miles, so I thought I'd ask.
Oh, one last thing: is the that hard to find, as I've also heard, when one gets really close to it?
A 4 wheel drive car with a low gear range is highly recommended. The last several miles are driving in a wash, with very soft sand and rocks. As you get get to within the last 1/2 mi there is a sizable rock step, perhaps 10-12 inches high, to creep over, so ground clearance can also be an issue. If it rains, these washes you drive in may become very treacherous, so watch the weather before setting out from Mesquite. Also the flats right in front of the Little Finland cliff can become very muddy and I could easily see someone getting stuck.
The first time you go there, a GPS and good way point directions are recommended. See L Martres, photographing the Southwest V2.
