Carly and her Coleman Pop Up Tent 

By Amber Woods on Friday, August 11, 2017

  As far as Carly is concerned this is our tent. Carly has farted all over this Coleman pop up tent in nearly every campsite in the eastern sierras. Carly has definitely left her mark on our Coleman pop up tent and if you ask this little pugle this is Carly’s tent. So this morning …

Home Made Chicken Liver, Sweet Potato and Spinach Cat Food!

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, August 9, 2017

Yes, it is official, I have become that crazy cat lady! I just made home made cat food. I have a very good reason. My one cat is super sensitive and has horrible allergies so I’m switching him over to holistic cat food and also starting to make some of his food from scratch with …

Please God, Let there be Guard Rails; Monarch Pass Colorado in a motorhome.

By Amber Woods on Sunday, August 6, 2017

I don’t think I have ever prayed as much in my life as when we were driving through Monarch Pass Colorado in a motorhome. “Please God, let there be guard rails” I begged as we chugged up the most scenic of an alpine laced highway. Our day of RVing through Colorado was supposed to be …

Once Upon a Time at the Monarch Pass

By Amber Woods on Friday, August 4, 2017

Colorado is terrifying. I have literally been about to shit myself half of this gorgeous green cowboy and cow horse filled state. In between hikes up 12,000 foot mountain passes and glorious meals of Indian food delights, we decided to take the 35 foot RV up and over Monarch Pass. I seriously can not even …

On Walkabout in the Great Southwest

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, August 2, 2017

There are a lot of odd things about Southern California but one of the top ones is that people who live in smoggy, hot, humid Southern California rarely leave. Myself I don’t get it, why not escape from this barren desert as often as possible? We have many municipal airports at our disposal. Here in the …

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.
