How to Puppy. For Dog Dummies

By Amber Wood on Saturday, November 26, 2022

Yesterday I woke up at five a.m. to my twelve-year-old pup having a complete meltdown. So you want a puppy? I asked myself as I trudged down the stairs in the dark to let her outside to pee. I really could have used that extra hour of sleep before I got ready for my two-hour …

Fennel and Tamarind Paste Roasted Pork Loin Please

By Amber Wood on Tuesday, November 22, 2022

If it’s late October it’s finally cool enough in our mountain town to turn our oven on again. As much as I don’t want to see long summertime days end, the shorter days of fall mean I get to shove a Fennel and Tamarind Paste Roasted Pork Loin at my face. On a humid autumn …

Autumn Spice Sugar Cookies

By Amber Wood on Friday, November 18, 2022

Get a dog they said. Get another dog they said. Take her on a hike they said. Clean up fifteen poops a day, they said (By they I mean my boyfriend) Did we really only adopt one dog? How can one dog poop so much? All the stress of adopting a new puppy has me …

Coconut Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

By Amber Wood on Wednesday, November 9, 2022

Two high Sierra mountain passes in two days might have been a bit much for me looking back. Especially when the second one required three thousand feet in altitude gain in ten miles. But still, as this sunny and oh so hot July morning dawned in Bishop, the pup and I were sweating our way …

About Me
Amber Woodyard
Amber Woodyard

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 [email protected] 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.
