Geocache Description:

Tenmile talus slope is one of those geocaches that make you say 'wow, this is neat'.  This cache will take you past the major slope to an area with minimal rockfall potential.  I could only imagine what early explores thought when faced with this site.

A talus slope is generally considered the pile of rocks at the base of a cliff. and Tenmile is no exception.  The western 'slope' rises about 200 feet from the creek to the top of the cliff.  Wildlife in the area include Bald Eagles, Osprey, Moose, Elk, Dear (Whitetail and Mule), Wolves, Mountain Lions, Black & Grizzly Bears, and a host of other smaller forest creatures.

The cache is one of 4 located in the Pinkham area as a group effort between a group of Illinois adventurers and a local outdoor ministry. The four hides are all ammo boxes and each lead to a unique area in the Kootenai National Forest. Please remember, leave the area as it was found(removing any trash you may find along thte way). Additional information on the area can be found at the US forest service site http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/kootenai/home
