Where the Wilderness Women Came From

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, April 21, 2015

You have probably never heard of the town I grew up in. If you have maybe you saw the name blip across the CNN news ticker in 2007 when we lost a portion of our town in the Slide Wild Fire. This little town is a treasure in the over populated suburban sprawl of Southern …

Indian Spiced Tahini Cauliflower Bake

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, April 21, 2015

It’s the first early days of spring time here in the Big Bear Valley and the snow is melting fast and the trails are just begging to be hiked. Carly dog whines at me constantly …

Szechwan Spicy Shrimp with Kale and Cabbage 

By Amber Woods on Friday, April 17, 2015

My friends never believe me when I tell them I grew up outside. Most of my memories from when I was a kid involve playing in the dirt, sledding, building giant snow castles and frolicking in the woods. I fully believe that the reason I am such a healthy, active adult all comes back to my childhood, …

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.
