Thousand Island Lake Hike. It’s not better. It’s just different

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, August 2, 2022

I’ve sweated and struggled up the railroad tracks of scenic Agnew Pass in the Ansel Adams Wilderness more times than I can count. I always have that crazed day hikers goal of Thousand Island Lake eleven miles ahead of me. This massive strenuous hike starts in the full sun if you don’t start at 6:00 …

Bishop Pass Bambi Bonanza

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, July 26, 2022

Well, that is the first time I’ve trekked back from a hike with a backpack full of deer parts. My heart was sad I have to admit and not because I had a backpack full of deer femurs and rib bones. My heart felt melancholy as I left for my hike this morning when I …

By Amber Woods on Thursday, July 21, 2022

It’s hard not to be upbeat and happy about life when you are trekking through an alpine forest on a summer’s day beneath a cloudy sky and the humidity has just broken, finally, thank you Jesus, and it’s begun to rain. On days like this my hyper chipmunk side comes out and I know I …

Korean Tempura Cauliflower Crack

By Amber Woods on Thursday, July 14, 2022

I don’t suggest doing crack but I do suggest frying up this delicious spicy breaded cauliflower. If you happen to be Hunter Biden you might want to put down that ‘ol crackpipe and pick up some tempura style cauliflower instead. As a healthy food blogger, I highly recommend it in fact. I’m personally not a …

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.
