Marker text:
The high rounded peak to the south with lookout tower is Brasstown Bald or Mount Enotah, the highest mountain in Georgia, 4,748 feet above sea level. Its Indian name, Itseyi, means "place of fresh green" and refers to its grassy instead of timbered summit as does the name "Bald." The first white settlers mistook this name for a similar one meaning "brass." A Forest Service road leads to a picnic area near the summit.
