Alone on a Mountain

By Amber Woods on Thursday, March 17, 2016

It’s forty-five degrees and I wish I was wearing shorts right now. I’ve been slugging up this long snowy hill for what feels like miles. It has actually been miles, four of them exactly since I left my car at the locked forestry gate shut down tight until the snow melts in the spring. That’s …

Trail Prayers

By Amber Woods on Monday, March 14, 2016

“Please God don’t let me get frost bite. Also please let that not be a mountain lion on the ridge line stalking us. Amen” Some prayers are short but sweet. I find myself praying to the one above alot these days but well this was a new one. Some people pray when life gets tough. …

Curried Cous Cous with Shrimp and Golden Raisins

By Amber Woods on Thursday, March 10, 2016

My legs and my feet and my heart are yearning to hit the trails today. All I can think about is running up mountains in the high Sierra, or doing beach runs along the sand dunes of the central coast. I get the travel bug in waves and having days off with no big plans …

#Unicorn

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, March 2, 2016

“They are off the turf” These are the worst words to hear on a gorgeous February morning. It’s so frustrating as it’s sunny out with probably a high of eighty degrees in the valley below my mountain home. Los Angeles got pounded with rain a few nights ago and that means the turf course at …

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.
