'''A Walk in the Woods''' is the sixth track in ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''.


{{Era|H1}}
==Overview==
The piece is dominated by synthetic woodwinds and a bass, which together start off solo before being joined by a steel drum. The woodwinds then begin to fade out, allowing the drums to begin dominating the piece with a pulsing, regular beat. Quickly, the winds join back in, re-establishing the melody of the piece. The melody fades out again, to be replaced by contrasting beats on cymbals; soon, the melody returns, now with the cymbals laid over it to lend a secondary beat to the piece. Near the end, the melody fades out for good, allowing the piece to gently conclude with cymbals sounding over the consistent pulse of the drum.


'''A Walk in the Woods''' is a song included in the [[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]. It was remade as Heretic, Hero in [[Halo 2]], and is also in [[Halo 3]]. The main instruments that can be heard in the piece are base guitar, synthesizers, a drumkit and shakers.
The piece was primarily written by [[Michael Salvatori]] with additions from [[Martin O'Donnell]].{{Ref/YouTube|0zG18XfsnvI|HiddenXperia|TALKING TO MARTY O'DONNELL ABOUT HALO INFINITE, Activision, the Halo 2 crunch and MUCH MUCH MORE!|D=6|M=7|Y=2020}}
