US State Highpointing: Campbell Hill the highest point in Ohio

While Campbell Hill is far from the tallest in the U.S., ranking 43rd in height among state highpoints, it has earned the distinction of being "the most manicured of the state highpoints."
In a more unexpected turn, a petition was recently filed proposing that Campbell Hill be renamed to "Mount Sarah Palin" in tribute to Alaska’s former governor. The petition humorously argues that if Ohioans can name Alaska’s tallest peak, it’s only fair that Alaskans get to name Ohio’s. The petition references the peak’s historical significance and the efforts made by people to reach it, even suggesting that some may not have returned.
At 1,550 feet, Campbell Hill is a far cry from Alaska's towering Denali, which stands at 20,310 feet, but the petition is an intriguing example of how state highpoints—no matter their size—capture the imagination of people across the country.
