Goan Vindaloo Fries

By Amber Woods on Sunday, July 14, 2024

If you want to go to a place to resurrect your life and feel a-new again then the Eastern Sierra Mountains are that place. The jagged peaks and stunning wilderness Ansel Adams photographed and John Muir wrote essays about have a special place in my heart. I spend as much time as I can every …

Keto AF Margarita Mix

By Amber Woods on Saturday, June 29, 2024

It’s been a long time since I limped around like an old donkey yet here I am again. I’ve decided to find my inner trail runner. She’s in here somewhere, hidden away for years between so much work, a new hobby of sourdough bread baking and betting on the ponies. This old donkey really needed …

Making Homemade Ghee Great Again

By Amber Woods on Saturday, June 22, 2024

Here we are, it’s late August and my birthday is over. That means that it feels like fall in our mountain ski town here in southern California. I have a love-hate relationship with early fall as I sure I would love a Pumpkin Spiced Latte, especially if it’s my own healthy version, but I also …

The Best Nut Butter Cookies Ever Created

By Amber Woods on Saturday, June 15, 2024

Is it a cookie? Or is it a delicious and healthy breakfast sandwich? When it comes to that old favorite the peanut butter cookie I am beyond picky. I won’t usually buy them because I am just so particular about what a chewy moist peanut butter cookie should taste like. On the other hand, aside …

Natural Foods Grocery Shopping for A RV Cross-Country Trip

By Amber Woods on Sunday, June 9, 2024

It was mid-June, and the RV was packed to the gills with keto margarita mix and pre-made masalas. The fifty-four-quart extra freezer we had purchased just for this two-month cross-country road trip was stocked with so much homemade bone broth, frozen Ginger Gluten-Free Muffins and dal with extra tamarind. We were ready for vacation and …

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.
