Mammoth, Day Two; The Locals Think I dress Like a Weirdo

By Amber Wood on Thursday, December 13, 2012

   It’s like forty five degrees out and here I am causing drama in beautiful Mammoth Lakes California again. It seems in this part of the world it is abnormal to wear shorts on your morning run. Maybe it is abnormal to run here when the wind chill is below freezing. I saw one other …

Mammoth or Bust

By Amber Wood on Wednesday, December 12, 2012

   It’s a beautiful day to drive to Mammoth.   Southern California reminds me more of Connecticut today as we drive through the blink and you will miss them towns of Lone Pine, Big Pine and Independence, California.     The leafless trees are so spooky looking against the harse blue sky.    They remind me of …

Living in the Land of Milk and Honey

By Amber Wood on Sunday, December 9, 2012

   Last week all over the Facebook I saw the same thing; friends of mine complaining that they hadn’t won the lottery.    Now this is a free country and every one has the right to throw their money away on lottery tickets if they feel like it but what I was thinking amid all these …

By Amber Wood on Friday, November 30, 2012

    I was doing some research on all things Alaska and came across this little snippet on BlogHer. It’s interesting number one,as it took place at Mountain High Pizza Pie, which is the best pizza place in the entire world.    It’s interesting number two, as Talkeetna, Alaska is my favorite place in the entire …

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.
