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


The song is dominated by synthetic woodwinds, which start off solo before being joined by a steel drum at 00:16. Starting at 00:29, the woodwinds begin to fade out, allowing the drums to begin dominating the piece with a pulsing, regular beat. At 00:37, the winds join back in, re-establishing the melody of the piece. At 01:07, the melody fades out again, to be replaced by contrasting beats on cymbals; at 01:13, the melody returns, now with the cymbals laid over it to lend a secondary beat to the piece. At 01:43, the melody fades out for good, allowing the piece to gently conclude with cymbals sounding over the consistent pulse of the drum.
