A Hiker’s Ill Fated Journey up to the Laurel Lakes

By Amber Woods on Sunday, July 11, 2021

I can see now why no hikers dare to trek up to the Laurel Lakes. I feel like after so many years hiking to all of the different lakes of the high sierra’s, I’ve hiked to all of the most scenic lakes. Laurel Lakes beckoned me because it was something new that I hadn’t done …

An Authetic Anglo-Indian Panang Curry with Shrimp

By Amber Woods on Thursday, July 8, 2021

In 2014 I tried to make homemade authentic Thai food for the first time. Now making authentic Thai Panang curry and heating up some Trader Joe’s pad that from the freezer section are two completely different things. For authentic Thai food, you have to hunt down ethnic ingredients like lemongrass, galangal root and kaffir lime …

Gluten-free Cashew Butter Coconut Bar

By Amber Woods on Monday, June 28, 2021

If I’m going to enjoy delicious treats on the top of an Inyo County mountain pass, chances are it will probably have almond butter somewhere in the ingredients list. Recently I found myself enjoying one of those kinds of sunrises full of magentas and deep lavender hues you can only really find in the eastern …

Summer in the Eastern Sierra — Where the Mountains Make You Forget Your Email Password

By Amber Woods on Sunday, June 13, 2021

If it’s July and I’m anywhere here in my home state of California, then I hope and pray I’m somewhere on a trail in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. I have an unhealthy lust for the craggy mountains and the pine-filled forests. I yearn to swim in the alpine lakes, still freezing cold with …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear Lake’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest. I have basically been out exploring hiking trails and enjoying the wilderness as long as I could walk. I have had some amazing adventures out here in the gorgeous San Bernardino Mountains over the years. As a alpine adventure enabler who is passionate about the wilderness, I love to share my knowledge of our vast trail system with vacationers who also love the great outdoors. Looking to book a hiking excursion? Email me at Hungrymountaineer@gmail.com for the best locals-only hikes available in this mountain wilderness. I am passionate about finding my balance in life – healthy living, great food, outdoor fitness, traveling adventures, working hard and my unbridled love for racehorses and naturally, gambling. When I’m not exploring news trails or betting on the ponies you can find me either coming up with healthy new recipes or blogging about the adventures my trail pup and I had in the wilderness this week. I have spent most of my life exploring what these mountains have to offer and locals would call me an expert and a backcountry Snack Sherpa. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
