Brooks Memorial State Park – state parks quest #9
We were camping with friends on the Klickitat River, a long-planned getaway in a gorgeous and uncrowded area. Our friends saddled up for a day of mountain biking, and Mr. Adventure and I headed out to explore. We ended up at Brooks Memorial State Park, about ten miles north of Goldendale and three miles south of Satus Pass on Interstate 97. Intrigued by the unusual name, we pulled in to find out more.
