Forest Falls Hike or Why My Friends Refuse to Hike with Me and a recipe for Salmon Salad

By Amber Wood on Thursday, August 15, 2013

   Some times the best adventures can be the things that are really not smart ideas at all.   For two weeks now Janette and I have been hearing the tall tales of how glorious the crystal clear waters at the top of Forest Falls are.    “The pools are deep enough to swim.”        “There are …

By Amber Wood on Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Who the Hell is Jerry Brown?

By Amber Wood on Monday, August 12, 2013

   I went on a date last night that was going just fine until I made a comment about how I had been at Walmart today and a solicitor had asked me to sign a petition to recall Jerry Brown.    I had looked at the guy with his cheap folding table and clip board …

Sweet Potato Waffles with Candied Pecans and Brown Sugar Icing

By Amber Wood on Sunday, August 11, 2013

    Some mornings living your life like every day is a vacation means waking up in a bed and breakfast.       Except in a real bed and breakfast I don’t think there would be a angry yet happy cat jumping on my bladder and mewing.    Just because I did not actually wake up on vacation …

The best, and easiest Grilled Trout Ever

By Amber Wood on Saturday, August 10, 2013

   Last week I spent a evening casting my line into an alpine lake just a half mile lake from our camp ground.  It was a early June evening and even though we were camping in the highest of the high Sierras the temperature was still in the sixties right before sun set.   Our friends had …

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.
