Lost in the Fog; The Preakness Stakes 2018

By Amber Wood on Thursday, May 24, 2018

I grew up in a foggy place. I learned to drive on twisting turning mountain roads where the fog was so dense sometimes you couldn’t see past your windshield. On driving lessons, when the fog was that thick sometimes, you would have to drive with your head out the window just to see the highway. …

3 Things Nobody Ever Told Me About Mountain Biking

By Amber Wood on Monday, May 21, 2018

I’ve been mountain biking for two years now and for one year of that, I would consider myself a not quite beginner mountain biker. I guess as soon as I bought my first pair of padded pants and started looking at the best-reviewed helmets on Helmethunt.com, that is when I started to get serious about …

Crumbs and Whiskers, A Caffeinated Feline Coffee filled Review

By Amber Wood on Thursday, May 10, 2018

For someone who has lived in southern California her whole life, I am nowhere near an expert on what a tourist should do for fun in Los Angeles. If I had friends come to visit from around the world and they asked me what do tourists do in Los Angeles, I guess the obvious answer …

Kentucky Derby Day Picks 2018

By Amber Wood on Friday, May 4, 2018

Kentucky Derby day means big hats, bourbon-laced drinks and betting on the ponies. Well, unless you are working trying to pick a few winners, make a few bucks and possibly hit that million dollars late Pick 4 at Churchhill Downs, then you may have to skip the Bourbon part. This Kentucky Derby day found me …

About Me
Amber Woodyard
Amber Woodyard

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest and 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 hiking guide 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. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures in my blog on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
