When creating Alternative Text for an image of an informational sign such as for a hiking trail, how verbose should it be?

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments ~ Jim

A graphic illustration with large text at the top and a cartoon person using a white cane. The background is light beige. At the top, dark blue capital letters read: “ALTERNATIVE TEXT FOR THE BLIND”. On the left is a speech-bubble icon containing a simple image placeholder (a circle sun and triangular mountain) with two short horizontal lines underneath, suggesting caption text. On the right is a simplified drawing of a person with light skin tone, dark hair, and dark sunglasses, wearing a mustard-yellow long-sleeve shirt and dark blue pants, walking to the right while holding a white cane angled down to a small dark tip on the ground. Near the upper right is a dark blue hand symbol with curved lines suggesting sound or a signal.
