Baja-Style Pickled Red Onions

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, February 19, 2025

Take my advice this winter season; Travel to Baja  California for the Baja-Style Pickled Red Onions; Stay for the wild-caught fresh lobster and oceanview accommodations at a fraction of what you will pay in California. When we spent seven days in Baja California last November, I’ll admit, I expected to gain weight on that little …

The Best Books I read in 2024

By Amber Woods on Saturday, February 15, 2025

Being injured sucks big time. As much as I adore a snowy day reading a gripping novel on the couch with a fire roaring away in the fireplace, I would rather be snowshoeing. I love our cozy home filled to the brim with snuggly forest cats and espresso-based coffee drinks but snowshoeing is my real …

Gluten-Free Chocolate Mouse Brownie Cake

By Amber Woods on Monday, February 10, 2025

If it’s Valentine’s Day then I might just OD on chocolate. I mean ask me what I want for Valentine’s Day. I want to snowshoe with my dog and then shove a chocolate dessert at my face. My Valentine’s Day needs are quite simple. If it’s Valentine’s Day 2025, oh God, do I need some …

Scallion Cheddar Sourdough English Muffins

By Amber Woods on Friday, February 7, 2025

Hey keto, I tried. I really did. It’s been two months of nothing but stress. Yet I cut out carbs ninety percent of the time. I haven’t even dreamt of a Sourdough English Muffins in weeks! My troubles began with a sprained ankle before Christmas. Then a very dear friend passed away after a battle …

Kale, Cucumber Date Help-Me-Lord-Detox Salad

By Amber Woods on Sunday, February 2, 2025

Here it is the beginning of January and it’s time for healthy salads! Put down the eggnog. Pick up the kale and those snowshoes! I love to take this easy salad with me in my backpack to enjoy on a mountaintop after a morning of snowshoeing. This is one of those great healthy vegetarian salads …

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.
