Can someone please recommand hike/climb place around OH/PA?

[mingmeng]

I live in cleveland, OH. Unfortunately, as everyone knows, OH is quite flat.
I enjoy hiking and mountain climbing with my dog every much. But I can hardly find any place to do it in OH.
Can someone recommand any place in 3 hours driving distance where I can climb mountains?
I know there are serveral ski resort where I can hike/climb in summer, such as holiday valley ski resort. But they are not high either.
To me, a elevation gain of 1000-2000 is perfect. In the case, I can go and come back in one day.
I have searched internet for a long while. But, I am too dumb to found any.

If anyone can help some information, I will really appreciate.

Hi mingmeng - welcome to the boards! This is a perfect opportunity to get some hiking discussion outside of New England and New York going, which would align somewhat with our newly expanded ski area coverage. Hopefully, some other people in your area will chime in with suggestions.
