This is a hike to the summit of Apple Orchard Mountain, It is .9 miles one way through some very pretty forest and a meadow of wildflowers. .6 miles in, you will come to "the guillotine" which is a rock formation. Once you reach the top, there is a naval radar station and some red oak trees that give the mountain its name.
