Ohio Travel Guide

Ohio's claims are serious: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, eight US presidents, the Wright brothers' Dayton workshops, and Cedar Point, the roller-coaster capital with 18 coasters on Lake Erie.
Cleveland's West Side Market and the Cuyahoga Valley's waterfalls, Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine and chili, Columbus's Short North: the 'three C's' each hold a weekend. The Lake Erie islands and Put-in-Bay cover summer.
