Garam Masala Meatloaf with Indian Ketchup

By Amber Woods on Saturday, April 22, 2023

Jaw-droppingly gorgeous days in the mountains like today make me have one thought. I fucking hate California. How can I live in such an unworldly beautiful place and not be able to enjoy it because all of my hidden wilderness spaces are covered in graffiti? Welcome to life in 2023. Criminals do what they want, …

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

By Amber Woods on Saturday, April 15, 2023

I just snowshoed up a mountain with my brand-new adventure dog! Thank God I have some homemade gluten-free Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake packed in my backpack! Snowshoeing is always so much harder than just regular hiking, throw in two to four feet of snow, breaking trail and struggling to the top of a mountain peak, …

Curried Spiced Mixed Nuts Nutwalla

By Amber Woods on Monday, April 10, 2023

Tonight I got to be the nutwalla. But first I had to squeeze my Butter Chicken Butte into my largest Kurti. It’s an Anglo-Indian Christmas miracle I didn’t have to cut the damn thing off of me afterward! That’s how tight a fit my favorite emerald blue Kurti is these days. When I purchased this …

Woofles; Chicken and Sweet Potato Dog Waffles

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, April 5, 2023

America has a fascination with dogs. The typical American spent around $1,400 a year just on their dogs last year. It was estimated that in 2021 Americans spent over 109 billion on their Fido’s and Champs! As Americans, we buy two hundred-dollar dog beds. Living in a ski town, I see so many tourists putting …

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.
