By Amber Woods on Tuesday, October 9, 2018

This autumn fall came early to our neighborhood. What I mean by that is Labor Day weekend it may still have been eighty degrees in our neighborhood but we lost a quarter of our apple tree in one snap and we had a plethora of apples on our hands. Oh, poop. “Who wants to take some …

Kerala Coconut Rabbit Curry

By Amber Woods on Friday, September 14, 2018

I grew up around rabbits. My best friend had a hutch full of terrified rabbits that would pee on everything and everyone if you tried to hold them. I do admit that some of them are kind of cute but I just don’t get pets that are terrified of their owners. And that’s why I …

Hike. Jeep. Repeat. Big Bear's only outdoor adventure guide
Amber Woods
Amber Woods

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