A talus slope is a geologic term for large, sometimes even house-sized boulders that have accumulated on a hillside from higher up cliffs. This is different than a scree field, which tend to be made up of much smaller rocks. Talus slopes are more than just a geologic feature in the landscape--they provide habitat for small mammals, including squirrels, marmots and pikas. Have you seen Talus fields in other areas of the park?
