Gnocchi Pecorino Chicken Soup

By Amber Woods on Thursday, March 26, 2015

 There were a lot of places I hated going as a kid. Chasing my dad through the isles of Home Depot was always a terrible day. If we were at the Home Depot that meant something was broken at home and dad was probably pissed off. When dad was mad he would walk fast and …

I come from a long line of Chipmunks…

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, March 25, 2015

My boyfriend is constantly reminding me that I’m a chipmunk and I need to settle down. I have bad news for him; it looks like it’s genetic! Today is my grandmas eighty fifth birthday. Last night she told me a story about how she was crawling up on the kitchen counters so that she could …

By Amber Woods on Sunday, March 22, 2015

I’ve had some guys say sweet things to me over the years but my boyfriend takes the cake. ( Or the chutney, in this case) A few weeks ago we came back from a hike and were enjoying some happy hour drinks. My sciatic nerve has been killing me lately and even the easiest hikes …

The Social in Big Bear; The Best Short Ribs I’ve Ever Had!

By Amber Woods on Saturday, March 21, 2015

Last night was date night in Big Bear Lake. We decided to start our evening by having dinner and drinks at The Social before going to see American Sniper at the theater in town. It’s called The Social because when you walk into the men’s restroom by mistake it’s a very social experience. I would …

You’re Number Two, San Diego

By Amber Woods on Friday, March 20, 2015

Back east in Boston their big problem is nine feet of snow. I’m extremely jealous of their situation. I would love, I ache to have that much snow. Yet alas, we are in a drought situation here in sunny So Cal. I just arrived at the beaches of San Diego eighty nine miles from my …

About Me

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.
