A scree slope close to a road not in a wilderness area or NP? Look no further than Dunderberg Peak in Inyo National Forest. Dunderberg Peak is a Mt. Everest of scree and close to the end of the Virginia Lakes Road off of Conway Summit (Highway 395 south of Bridgeport). I've made close to 400 ascents in the Sierra's, Dunderberg Peak is the only climb I wish I'd never made - the scree is that bad (or good in your case)

I second that. It's the mother of all scree slopes. You can see the scree slope above Moat Lake here:

or here (from Moat Lake):
