Dan Oko

Two-plus decades in Texas have given Houston-based Dan Oko a chance to explore the state from the Piney Woods of East Texas to the Franklin Mountains in the western city of El Paso. His specialties include adventure travel, parks and public lands, environmental issues and all manner of Lone Star culture from the best barbecue plates to dude ranch getaways to wildlife watching on the Gulf Coast.
