We Talk in Fractions

By Amber Woods on Sunday, January 10, 2016

We talk in fractions. “The eight is 9-2” We speak our own language with words like, Saez and Leparoux and Florent Geroux. We throw out terms like tongue ties and lay offs. Any one listening to use chat would think what in the world are these guys in the red suspenders talking about? We get …

What are you doing NYE

By Amber Woods on Monday, January 4, 2016

This New Year’s Eve I’m really glad I’m not sleeping in an airport. I’m a camper by nature and I have no problem sleeping absolutely anywhere, but trying to get comfortable on the hard and freezing cold floor of the Sydney, Australia airport last New Year’s Eve was not exactly a good time. What’s really …

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.
