Editorial Staff

Editorial Staff guides on TrekTexas are researched and written with the help of AI, then edited and checked by Ashton Brown, the site's founder and chief editor. Ashton is a native Texan, born in Dallas and a longtime Austinite, who visits Texas parks year-round and contributes photos to many guides. Each guide draws on Texas Parks and Wildlife, the National Park Service, local park operators and recent visitor reviews, and every guide's content and park details are rechecked each quarter. TrekTexas has been online since 2012.
