Life in a Resort Town

By Amber Wood on Thursday, January 3, 2013

   Life in a ski town means you try not to hate the tourists.  You try every weekend as you sit in two hours of snowy traffic, praying to go faster than three miles an hour just for a few minutes.   You try not to hate the cute little children who throw snow balls at …

A Urination Situation

By Amber Wood on Wednesday, January 2, 2013

Most people have parents who would be proud of them if they were a doctor or a lawyer or got a A+ on a test. In my family, things are a little different. My Dad is proud that none of his kids are in jail or on drugs. He has said this to us many …

Fall

By Amber Wood on Sunday, December 30, 2012

   If there is one thing I do well it is fall.   I can be running fast flat out down a hill, trip over a root and fall as soft as a leaf into the dirt. I’m majorly skilled at catching myself in situations like this.   Maybe it’s all the horse racing I watch, watching …

Price Club? Wwwhhhaaattt?

By Amber Wood on Sunday, December 30, 2012

   Christmas 2012 was the year some one told my dad that Price Club went out of business. This was after he referenced Price Club about fifteen times during dinner. My Mom finally broke the news to him during dessert that they shop at Costco now, and have done that for ten years.    Our family …

Merry Christmas Crackheads

By Amber Wood on Tuesday, December 25, 2012

   Tonight I survived Del Taco.   I’m a foodie, and I do not eat fast food, like, ever.   I eat things like sushi, goat cheese and liver.   A macho meal? Excuse me? What does that even mean?   Tonight, Christmas Eve, I tried to go to my favorite hole in the wall Mexican place. Okay, yes …

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.
