Write a detailed description of a dreary scene outside a wilderness desert with boulders, an escarpment, and rock.
assistant
A pile of fallen rock leans against the base of a high escarpment. Several boulders have slid down from the pile and come to rest on the sandy ground, creating obstacles along the twisty, curved remnants of the road. The air is hot, stifling, and still -- even the shade of the boulders provides little relief.
