A weathered wooden sign marks the Appalachian Trail's path.
A wooden sign is planted into the ground; engraved into it is the text "APPALACHIAN TRAIL". The sign is a thin rectangle of rough, aging wood, which makes the engraved text slightly hard to read. On the top and bottom of the sign are two large metal screws holding it to the wooden stake. The ground surrounding the sign is composed of dry, light colored dirt and several small rocks and pebbles. To the right of the sign, is a wooden log that is splintered and broken at the end, with it mostly being out of view. Behind the sign is a wall of bright green, healthy plants and shrubbery.
