Stuck at Home; Day Six

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, February 12, 2013

         This is day six of the forest being off limits.     Six days ago Chris Dorner went on a cop killing spree in Southern California.    After he raced up to a Riverside Police Car on Arlington Street in the middle of the night, slammed on the breaks when he was next to the cruiser and shot …

A Safe Idea?

By Amber Woods on Monday, February 11, 2013

    Today is day five of the manhunt for Chris Dorner that is taking place fifteen miles from my home town. I live in a ski resort town and yes we got sixteen inches of snow Friday night. Yes there is also quite possibly a dangerous dude with guns hiding out some where in this national …

Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops

By Amber Woods on Saturday, February 9, 2013

It was Safe; Until Yesterday

By Amber Woods on Saturday, February 9, 2013

    The parade of law enforcement vehicles driving up our mountain highways this morning is endless.    Every time I look out my  windows at the highway, well, I see the snow falling down, but it also seems like every time I look out the window I see more CHP or Sheriffs or green and white law …

Up on the Mountain

By Amber Woods on Saturday, February 9, 2013

     I hear sirens going by my cabin all the time. My cabin sits right above the highway that connects the Big Bear valley to San Bernardino and the rest of Southern California. Accidents are common on snowy mountain roads. Kids sledding into the highway, well it happens more often than you would think in …

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.
