A nice rail trail runs along the Allegheny River from the village of Tidioute. At 1.5 miles, a steep old forest lane cuts sharply uphill all the way to the summit. During the 19th century Pennsylvania oil boom, a notorious madame called “French Kate” had a brothel on the mountaintop. Locals called her The Wh*re of Babylon, which might be how the mountain got its name. Kate knew that the cops wouldn’t want to climb the steep hill, but her clients would have climbed Everest… It was a virgin peak until today...ironically.
