By Amber Woods on Monday, November 5, 2012

   I turned thirty-two a few weeks ago. What I really wanted for my birthday was a pair of brand new Steve Madden leather boots from Nordstrom’s. What my parents got me was a brand new baby brother!    I have two brothers. Sean is twenty-seven and happily married to his nineteen-year-old wife Echo. (A …

A little Red Dot in a Bright Blue State

By Amber Woods on Sunday, November 4, 2012

     I can clearly remember the day my Grandma told me I was stupid. It was a glorious fall day in the mountains. The leaves on the oak trees in our neighborhood were just starting to change colors from green to red to burnt orange. Yes it was that time of year when friends and family start to …

Chili Relleno Breakfast Surprise!

By Amber Woods on Saturday, November 3, 2012

    If I make a breakfast surprise with peppers, eggs, cheese and coconut oil, that’s healthy, right?   Um, yeah, sure.   I tried just breading the peppers and frying them in the coconut oil the first time and they pretty much fell apart in the oil so I gave up and did this casserole style instead.    …

Good Old Santa’s Village

By Amber Woods on Saturday, November 3, 2012

    I grew up in a magical place.    It was a land where reindeer grazed, well maybe not wild but in pens with hay and piles of pine needles for their beds.    There was a candy store that had every kind of candy you could ever imagine, home made ginger bread and jaw breakers that would …

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.
