The north side of Hood Mountain is accessed via a regional park that is contiguous with the state park. "Closing" the part of the park that the ranger (seems to have) mentioned is dumb, since the park provides no infrastructure or services other than a parking pullout along the road. The Goodspeed-Nattkemper trail itself passes through completely wild territory., which the park does nothing to handle, as far as I can tell.

Castle Crags SP is a farce to begin with, since the Crags aren't actually in the park. All they do is collect an entrance fee to let you hike on the National Forest. The SP does provide a campground, but the FS can take it over pretty easily.

I think that the state needs to get its act together and allocate the funds to the things they actually have a responsibility to do, not through money down the hundreds of ratholes they are currently shoveling it all into. MORE billions for a high speed rail? How many billions is that going to take now? I bet the current budget of this non-existent agency would cover the state parks supposed shortfall.

There is a contact at state parks on the above link which should be able to provide information
Our state park system was created by the creativity and passion of dedicated citizen groups, and it is time for today’s generation of organizations to pick up the torch.

I know you are embarking on a thesis, but please do add some peak pages...and an area page too. I think the paucity of info for that area available on Summitpost is lamentable.
