Hiking
Apple Orchard Mountain is the highest mountain in the county at 4,222 feet. The peak is situated in Jefferson National Forest and sits right on the Appalachian Trail. Even though it is named Apple Orchard Mountain, the peak actually doesn't boast a single apple; it gets its name from the trees on the hillside that resemble apple trees.
