Merry Christmas Crackheads

By Amber Woods 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 …

My Sunset Run

By Amber Woods on Sunday, December 23, 2012

   There is a place I love to run at sunset.    It sits at about seven thousand feet and you have glorious views of the valley below this forest as the sun crashes into the clouds and the ocean many miles in the distance.   There is a tiny alpine lake and when I run …

Peas Pearl Onions and Red Potato Mash

By Amber Woods on Saturday, December 22, 2012

    This is my take on the classic Holiday Peas and Peal Onions. This dish is so amazing! The secret is to use fresh drippings from a turkey or chicken you just roasted. Canned turkey stock will work, but you lose some flavor.2 cups peas1 cup pearl onions, peeled1/3 cup pancettathyme1/2 cup drippings from a …

Mountain cars

By Amber Woods on Thursday, December 20, 2012

   This is what a jeep is ‘spose to look like.  This is what the jeep looked like after the three hour drive in snow from Mammoth Lakes to South Lake Tahoe.       This is what most mountain cars look like in the winter months.    I just returned to my own snowy home a few days …

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.
