Let’s all try to Adult and not cause anymore California Wildfires

By Amber Woods on Saturday, September 17, 2022

As the most popular hiking guide in all of Big Bear Lake, I often have my vacation guests telling me how they love the sounds of the winds in the pines. As someone who has lived in these rural mountain towns for my whole life the wind in the pines causes me to have panic …

What the Hell is that Smell? A hike to Mammoth Rock

By Amber Woods on Thursday, September 15, 2022

The first time I trekked to the massive Mammoth Rock obviously it had to be an adventure.

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, September 6, 2022

Today I learned that no one will sit next to you on the Mammoth Lakes shuttle if you forget to throw your wag bag away after six hours of being in the hot, hot summertime sun. This wasn’t the first time I have partook in the Mammoth Lake Shuttle system but it was the first …

Garam Masala Burger with Goat Cheese & Indian Hot Garlic Ketchup

By Amber Woods on Friday, September 2, 2022

When it comes to travels to India nothing can ever be easy. So why should creating an authentic Indian meal here at home in the United States be effortless? Any thirty-minute recipe food blogger can throw together an “Indian Burger” with store-bought curry powder Rachael Ray circa the year 2000 style. I guess that is …

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.
