Ginger Garlic Pickle, Bangalore Style

By Amber Woods on Sunday, July 30, 2017

Three years ago I thought of pickle hand in hand with burgers. This was three years prior to trying my first fresh baked parathas on the cow dung filled streets of Bangalore. In the month we spent in Bangalore, I picked my way amid the piles of trash on every street corner and yes maybe …

Mr Toad’s Wild Ride

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, July 26, 2017

Most people if they’re lucky only have one “Oh shit moment” in a day. When you are traveling across the country as a new RV owning family in a 34 foot rig sometimes you have more than one “Oh shit moment” in a day. Days like this I know God was looking out for us …

Cashew Almond Smoothie

By Amber Woods on Sunday, July 23, 2017

Yesterday I almost died on the trail. Now if its my time to go than I guess I would want to die doing something I love, but really, I’m very glad yesterday was not the day.  Last year 24,00 people were killed by lightning strikes. The only thing that saved me from being part of …

It Smells like Candy in here

By Amber Woods on Friday, July 21, 2017

I just wanted to be nice to the old lady. Call it senior citizen day, call it Happy Old Bitch Day, I honestly don’t care what you call it but I thought I would be a sweet heart and take the old lady for a swim at Lake Powell. It was 106 degrees at 7 in …

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.
