Generate for me a description of a spooky scene outside a forest with a trail, ground litter, and cricket song.

The trail rises steeply through the thinning trees to the south, giving travelers a workout heading either direction along the precipitous slope. Ground litter and the reduced visibility make footing treacherous at best as well as noticeably muffling noise underfoot. Cricket song fills the air, deafening at times, obscuring the otherwise gentle sounds of nighttime wildlife that might be present.
