Curried Eggs with Avocado and Purple Sweet Potatoes

By Amber Woods on Monday, November 6, 2017

I simply adore my small town Big Bear Lake life; trail running, mountain biking and just breathing in the crisp cool and clean air amongst the pines of this resort town. In the valley below this rural mountain hamlet you would not even know that it’s fall. It’s over a hundred degrees most October days! …

Brown Rice Protein Bowl with Fennel, Pesto and Argentine Shrimp

By Amber Woods on Monday, October 30, 2017

It was September 16th and overnight autumn was here with chilly breezes, ripe golden delicious apples on the trees and pine needles covering the back yard pavers. Life in a small mountain resort town at 7,000 feet means when fall shows up at our doorstep, summers hot days are definitely over almost before you can say …

What the Hell do I do With Green Tomatoes?

By Amber Woods on Sunday, October 22, 2017

Of course I froze our delicious looking crop of cherry red tomatoes the first autumn day this season that the temperature dipped below 30 degrees and now we have tons of green tomatoes. I’ll be the first to admit it; I do not have a green thumb. I don’t even have a green pinky! I …

Oboz? Oh No! Why you don’t want to buy this popular brand of hiking shoes

By Amber Woods on Friday, October 20, 2017

Have you ever wondered what it was like to wear heavy cardboard boxes on your feet? Have you ever hated a shoe? Do you remember that scene in Wild where Cheryl Strayed (Portrayed by a sweaty Reese Witherspoon) threw her hiking boots off the mountain? Welcome to the world of the Oboz Mystic Low B’day …

About Me
Amber Wood
Amber Wood

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.
