California native and son of a botanist and a biologist/author, Zebulon "Zeb" Wallace was brought up with an appreciation for nature, an enthusiasm for exploring the world outside, and a well-honed ability to sit on the smoke side of campfires for hours at a time. He was camping and riding his parent's shoulders on hikes through the Sierra Nevada before he could walk. Zebulon and his family have camped at Rock Creek (near Bishop, California) every year since he was a child - a tradition that they continue to this day. These trips made him a more capable and confident hiker and developed his interest in exploring longer and more challenging trails. Some of his most memorable treks are Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania, Africa), High Sierra Trail (California, U.S.), Cactus to Clouds Trail (California, U.S.), Zion Narrows (Utah, U.S.), and Bright Angel Trail, Grand Canyon (Arizona, U.S.).
