The Mountains are Calling

A Snow Day

By Amber Woods on Sunday, November 15, 2015

The last few winters in this resort town have been horrific. Very little snow if any at all. Our once glorious evergreens are brown and rotting; the ones that survived the wildfire that raged through over 10,000 acres in June, anyway. It’s been so sad to see the ski slopes brown even in mid winter and not …

Je Prie Pour Vous Paris

By Amber Woods on Saturday, November 14, 2015

The afternoon our train pulled into the Monte Marc station felt so safe. We disembarked and made our way into the warm welcoming arms of Paris; crepes, café cremes and stinky cheeses. As my boots touched the streets of Paris and I looked for the piles of dog poo I had read about as we …

Curried Raisin Oatmeal with Buckwheat Groats

By Amber Woods on Friday, November 13, 2015

This recipe was inspired by the delicious oatmeal I had at Moonridge Coffee after Carly and I ran four miles the other morning. Straw Propeller Foods makes the absolute best pre made oatmeal cups and muesli cereals. When I saw curry flavoured oatmeal I just thought that was really weird but the barista working behind …

The Tabasco Bandit Rides Again.

By Amber Woods on Thursday, November 12, 2015

Today I felt like a terrorist. Or a dumb ass. Maybe both. I had to go to the county courthouse on this muggy smoggy, okay typical for San Bernardino County, September afternoon. Last time I had the joy of visiting the San Bernardino Courthouse I was probably nine or ten, tagging after my dad, who, …

Im not S.A.D.

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, November 11, 2015

I absolutely adoring this shitty weather. Unlike most Southern Californians after a few days of glorious rain, I get depressed when the sun comes out. I know, I’m a little Southern California weirdo. As I drove through fog, wind and snow today I enjoyed every gloomy moment of what is an extremely weak November storm. …

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.
