Going to the Woods is Going Home

Autumn 2020

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, January 19, 2021

What on God’s green earth does an outdoor adventurer do when the outdoors are closed to the public? I’m the kind of wanderlust filled hiker who hikes every day, rain, sleet, snow, COVID, I just don’t stop. I mean unless unprecedented southern California wildfires close all the forests within three hundred miles. What the hell …

For so many Americans, we are now coming up on a whole year of pandemic living and we are just hoping and praying for a healthy new year. Or possibly just a normal New Year! Normal life in 2020 meant staying at home, furloughs from work, gyms closed or being socially distanced from friends and …

By Amber Woods on Saturday, January 9, 2021

On my 40th birthday after planning for months to scale one hell of a mountain peak, you can bet your ass I would enjoy some buffalo blue cheese something or other. I mean, that is, eventually, but first I had to hike twenty-four miles or so with over 6,000 feet elevation gain. I was excited …

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.
