Bitchin Pad Thai with Scallops

By Amber Wood on Tuesday, November 28, 2023

As much as I love elk and venison, I can go for some vegan food and Bitchin Sauce recipes any day. I’ve always been one to think you just can’t have enough seafood. Besides venison and elk I could probably go the rest of my life without eating shore animal meat and be perfectly happy. …

Peach Raita with Mint

By Amber Wood on Thursday, November 23, 2023

Rising from my nice warm bed full of Norwegian Forest cats at four a.m. is not always my idea of a good time but sometimes work calls before dawn. Especially if you are Big Bear Lake, California’s premier hiking guide. You better believe if I spent all damn autumn day on the trail I will …

Low-Sugar Cardamom Apple Butter

By Amber Wood on Sunday, November 19, 2023

Being a dog mom to dogs with social anxiety can be a challenge. It doesn’t matter how many yellow collars I buy our pup or patches saying do not pet, I attach to her harness. Strangers just can’t help shoving their mouths into her beautiful face and trying to kiss her on the snout. I …

How to Create Fall Colors Photography Magic

By Amber Wood on Thursday, November 16, 2023

I may have an obsession with fall. No, it’s not the pull of sugary sweet Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks that lull me in on September first. It’s that magical orange light I can see blazing through the Black Oak trees in our national forest each morning starting in mid-September. I have to strap on …

Sticky Toffee Pudding with Cardamom Mascarpone Cream

By Amber Wood on Tuesday, November 14, 2023

I was totally inspired by the Angry English Chef the other night to make my own Sticky Toffee Pudding. Sure, I was tempted to make it gluten-free with my go-to almond flour and coconut flour combination. Maybe I could have used Swerve sweetener to take down the sugar content but then I thought, whatever, just …

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.
