Create a brief description of a rocky, dreary forest setting with a few dwarf pines.
assistant
The trail slopes sharply down to the southwest, and erosion has washed away much of the soil, leaving rocky shelves and gravel in which only a few scrubby dwarf pines can find enough soil to grow. Tall oaks and ironwood trees dominate the top of the slope, while an evergreen forest spills along its base.
