The image is a photograph of a plaque on a stone wall. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has a gold-colored border. On the top of the plaque, there is a circular emblem with the words "The Appalachian Trail" written in gold. Below the emblem, there are several bullet points that explain the trail's history and significance.

The first bullet point reads "Here begins the Appalachian Trail to Spring Mountain, the Appalachian trail was constructed by the Appalachian National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Appalachian Trails Conference. Remote for detachment, narrow for chosen company, winding for leisure, lonely for contemplation, it beckons not merely north and south, but upward to the body, mind, and soul of man."

There is also a quote from Harold Allen that reads "Georgia Historical Marker." The plaque appears to be located in a park or a wooded area with trees and shrubs in the background.
