Pesto Turkey Bacon Breakfast Melts

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, February 12, 2014

    Getting back into shape means hurting a little.    Or a lot.    Getting into shape and eating healthy does not mean you have to eat toast that tastes like cardboard or nothing but protein shakes.   Yes this sandwich has cheese on it (fat!) but I don’t see fat as calories.   I see fat as energy points.   I …

Curried Broccoli Crunch Salad

By Amber Woods on Sunday, February 9, 2014

    Being on vacation for four days makes me miss my tiny mountain kitchen back home in my mountains, two hundred miles away.    Last week I spent a epic few days in the Eastern Sierras seeing how much fun we could have with out snow boarding or skiing ( Two winter sports that are just …

Kittens vs Donuts vs Pitbulls ( Also recipe for Banana Nut Smoothie)

Choking, coughing and not shaving my legs

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, February 5, 2014

     It’s nine p.m. I’m in scenic and snowy alpine-lic-cous Mammoth California and I’m fucking choking.      I have been coughing and drinking wine for two hours.     Wine helps the coughing, right?     Red hot chili flakes would be the source of my itchy throat.    Our evening began hours earlier when J and I …

The Wacky Adventures of Drunk Amber

By Amber Woods on Monday, February 3, 2014

    This is a tale of cows, jeeps, gas and a little to much sour beer.     Last night we had way to much fun out on the town in the alpine mountain village of Mammoth California.     So many of the stories surrounding last night have to do with bodily functions.     Like as …

About Me
Amber Wood
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.
