Human: Compose a short description of a dreary scene outside wilderness forest with reddish-brown pine needles, trees, fir, modwir. Assistant: 
The trees begin to thin as the trail climbs at a steep angle up the mountainside. Young stands of fir and modwir crowd the slender birch trees as both compete on the rocky soil. Winding through the dark tree trunks, the path is cushioned by a layer of decaying reddish-brown pine needles.
