The Mountains are Calling

Winter in a Resort Town in Southern California

By Amber Wood on Saturday, December 21, 2013

     Winter in the mountains make you feel like you are far away from the sand, the shore, the malls and the sweaty deserts of Southern California.     Winter in the mountains almost makes you believe sometimes, you can close your eyes and wake up in Colorado. There are mountain slopes, glowing white with fresh …

The Best Orange Juice Ever

By Amber Wood on Friday, December 20, 2013

This morning I had the most amazing orange juice. I have not had orange juice this good since 2007 when I was in Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest. Yes, the best orange juice I have ever had in my life was served to me in a tiny cafe in the Marionplatz.        And randomly in Germany of all …

Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers

By Amber Wood on Thursday, December 19, 2013

I’m currently recovering from having way to much fun in nature. It’s been a week of snow shoes hikes and running up mountain trails in snow. My cat trax are always strapped to my Asic running shoes these days to help me not slip and slide on the icy trails. Believe me, my muscles hurt …

A Morning at Bear Creek

By Amber Wood on Tuesday, December 17, 2013

    The last few mornings have been so epically beautiful up here in my mountain forest.        There is a storm moving in from the west and the clouds a thousand feet below me have been so gorgeous every morning as I’ve run down the mountain trails and into the rolling fog.         I …

Tandem Bike Adventure

By Amber Wood on Sunday, December 15, 2013

   Yesterday I sat on a beach in the sunshine and did nothing.   Absolutely nothing.    It was fantastic.   That has to be one of life’s greatest pleasures, just feeling the sand between your toes and listening to the waves and feeling the sun shine on your skin.   The beach is two hours from my home, …

About Me
Amber Woodyard
Amber Woodyard

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 [email protected] 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.
