White Chocolate dipped Meyer Lemon Butter Cookies

By Amber Woods on Thursday, December 22, 2022

I probably love the holidays way too much. I admit it. Have you seen that meme saying whoever is playing Christmas music in October, you are the reason we got snow in November? Well, I’m not saying that it was my fault we got six inches of snow the first week in November but I’m …

Chai Spice Honeycrisp Sangria

By Amber Woods on Thursday, December 15, 2022

If the holidays don’t lead you to drink a giant goblet of Chai sangria then you are not doing them right! Or you didn’t invite my brother to a  Thanksgiving social. Relax, he’s an artist. He can pull off all that millennial crap and or tactless social faux pas at almost forty years old. In …

Here in our mountain town of Big Bear Lake, the autumn colors are finally changing and everything is a rainbow of yellow, oranges and reds. It’s one of my favorite times of year to be out on the trails with my favorite trail pup and hiking companion. Now that the weather actually feels like fall …

Sleep Like a Baby on a Plane (If Babies Had Neck Pillows and Compression Socks)

By Amber Woods on Friday, December 2, 2022

I’ve spent a night or two sleeping on the floor of an international airport (Oh and it was New Year’s Eve too! Fun story!) Getting stranded away from home during the holidays or any time of year, if you find yourself sleeping on an airplane or at an airport, life can be uncomfortable and stressful. …

New Puppy Owner Guide: Welcome to Life Covered in Fur and Chaos

By Amber Woods 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 …

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.
