Baby it’s Cold Outside; Or Maybe I’m Just High

By Amber Woods on Friday, December 9, 2016

I love Christmas music. I really do. I am that person that is blaring Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas the minute I leave Thanksgiving dinner. I decorate the tree to Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, dancing around my mountain cabin and Dreaming of a White Christmas (The Mindy Smith version of course) Every …

The Hungry Mountaineer; Injured AGAIN!!

By Amber Woods on Friday, December 9, 2016

After living through a hellish year of being chained to our front porch with horrendous back pain any little step backwards is more like a summer sault. I just lived through almost an entire week of back pain that once again had me bored on the front porch for days and days and days. Nearly …

Greek Yogurt Salmon Spread

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, December 7, 2016

If it’s a Tuesday morning at six a.m. I’m probably sweating in our living room. It’s barely light outside but my boyfriend and I are already doing burpees and power squats while Sean T yells at us from the t.v. in the corner. At first the dogs are always confused by us jumping around like …

 The Day the Hungry Mountaineer decided to become Vegan.

By Amber Woods on Saturday, December 3, 2016

This week I decided to be a vegan. That decision lasted about four days than I was baking liver for my cats food (and also snacking on chicken liver) and then I remembered, damn it! I’m a vegan! (This week)  I suck at being vegan. Vegans don’t eat organs. I’ve had the most riduclous stomach problems …

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.
