On a Forest Morning

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, March 13, 2013

   There is a dirt road that I like to run down in the winter months.   It hugs the cliffs and muddy edges of the National Forest.   Hawks fly through the treetops and deer scamper about in the Manzanita bushes.    I rarely see these creatures, all I see for the most part is the …

We Smell Like Rainbows and Unicorns

By Amber Woods on Sunday, March 10, 2013

Snow Monsters

By Amber Woods on Thursday, March 7, 2013

     I can tell in my sleep if it’s snowing outside.     I may not have amazing Snow ESP but when it snows people have to chain up their cars and trucks and when they drive by my house with tire chains at four A.M. I can hear them.   Even in a deep sleep I can …

Warm Willies and More

By Amber Woods on Monday, March 4, 2013

    I’m so glad he warned me in advance.    I tried to find a plumber to come in and fix my broken pipe last week.    He seemed like a real nice guy. We talked about all the drama unfolding with Chris Dorner in our little mountain time. He fixed my frozen and burst pipe, I …

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.
