By Amber Wood on Saturday, September 14, 2024

We live in a world where we can never quite escape from social media and technology. Thank God for the hidden zen I can find at the naked Korean day spa. On a typical Monday morning, you are driving to work on a crowded congested Los Angeles freeway listening to Spotify. You have already seen …

By Amber Wood on Wednesday, September 11, 2024

Mt Whitney or Bust!

By Amber Wood on Thursday, August 29, 2024

If you don’t start your birthday by puking in public you are just not having a good time. Right? That may be what I told myself as I froze my ass off at the top of a fourteen-hundred-foot mountain yesterday. Maybe I was just trying to distract myself from the biting wind chill in my …

P U; What is the Best Natural Deodorant, 2024 Edition

By Amber Wood on Friday, August 23, 2024

It’s summertime here in the mountains of southern California. As I spent these few months training to climb the tallest mountain in the continental United States, Mt Whitney, you had better believe that I spent a lot of time sweating.  Most days the pup and I try to go for at least a five-mile run/hike. …

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 [email protected] 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.
