Copycat Cafe Rio So-Not-Keto Barbacoa Salad

By Amber Woods on Friday, May 19, 2023

In my early twenties, I used to road trip to Utah to visit friends, frolic with bison at Antelope Island near the great Salt Lake and indulge in barbacoa burritos from Cafe Rio. Remember our twenties when we used to eat burritos? Do you remember carbs? Because I do! I can remember those days before …

Bohemian Fashion Treasure-Hunting via Yucca Valley Thrifting

By Amber Woods on Sunday, May 14, 2023

Some days 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 girl’s day is …

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 …

So You Want to Hike Mt Baldy

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, May 9, 2023

Every Labor Day weekend for the last fifty-two years, hundreds of die-hard hikers, trail runners, and plain old crazy outdoor adventurers attempt to run to the top of Mt Baldy, the tallest mountain that overlooks Los Angeles. This trail run, Mt Baldy’s Run to the Top, is not for the faint of heart; anyone afraid …

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 …

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.
