Bohemian Fashion Treasure-Hunting via Yucca Valley Thrifting

By Amber Woods on Sunday, May 14, 2023

Somedays you just need a girl’s day out. We just survived a global pandemic. Joe Biden is still stumbling his way through being president, and there might have been another mall shooting in a town near you. With all these life stresses we face here in 2023 sometimes self-care and a girls day is well …

Take off that Ridiculous Hat!

By Amber Woods on Friday, May 12, 2023

Once upon a time in a Deutschland far away a border control agent very loudly and aggressively screamed at me to “Take off that ridiculous hat!” And a Munich German fairytale full of bratwurst and beer was born. This was just minutes after stepping off a Ryanair flight from Gatwick to somewhere in the countryside …

Candied Bacon Jalapeno Poppers

By Amber Woods on Thursday, May 4, 2023

I thought this would be a great April Fool’s Day post after my healthcare provider told me I could not have Covid because I’m three times vaccinated. Sound like an April Fool’s joke, right? Nope, this really happened to me last winter. I really don’t care what your political leanings are or what you believe …

Here come the Snow Pigs, Happy Earth Day

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, May 2, 2023

Earth Day was a week ago and all over California thousands of Californians are celebrating Mother Earth by treating her like a toilet. I simply adore the wilderness and kind of hate the city-iots (An Idiot from the city that does stupid city things in rural areas. … Look at that city-iot putting snow chains on in the middle of …

About Me

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 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. 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.
