Optional trip: The highest point in Ohio, Campbell Hill, is also located in the city. However, the location is inside the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center, a technical school. Access to the school could be limited. When I visited the location, the school gate was closed, and so my time traveling to see Campbell Hill was wasted.
