Just like Dad? A Christmas Adventure

By Amber Woods on Sunday, December 29, 2013

      It just wouldn’t be Christmas if I wasn’t staring at a brown bottle of urine.       In my dad’s defense it could actually be a bottle of Arizona iced tea in the trunk of his Chevy but knowing my dad and how he never stops for bathroom breaks, chances are good it might be …

Bear Creek via Glory Ridge and Thai Trail Mix Recipe

By Amber Woods on Thursday, December 26, 2013

     It’s December 24 and I figure I should get my money’s worth out of my 2013 fishing license.      It may be Christmas Eve but I’m off to Big Bear to go for a run.      Or a hike.      Or both.     With possibly a side trip for fishing thrown in.      I tried to look …

There are mountain slopes, glowing white with fresh …

The Best Orange Juice Ever

By Amber Woods 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 …

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.
