16 Cats a Hoarder and Me

In Hot Pursuit

By Amber Woods on Friday, May 2, 2014

     Some days I really doubt that any one has a family as unique as mine.            I called my Dad yesterday to have a conversation.     He than yelled at me on the phone     “I can’t talk right now! I’m sitting on a toilet at a truck stop!”     ???     Why did he answer in the …

A Torturous Tremendous Tommy’s Adventure ( Or don’t go hiking in Barstow)

By Amber Woods on Monday, April 28, 2014

A Wild Life; Growing up in the Mountains in the 80’s

By Amber Woods on Friday, April 25, 2014

It all started with those damn raccoons. Those damn, cute, adorable I want to hug them except they might be rapid, raccoon. I grew up at nearly seven thousand feet in a small mountain town. I did not have a typical childhood. I never sat in front of the TV watching Reading Rainbow or playing …

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.
