Covid the Musical Plus a Pandemic Reading List

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, April 27, 2022

Vegas BC. (Before Covid)April first dawned like a terrible joke. I was so dizzy I could barely get out of bed, my head was pounding and I had no voice. Why yes, I had just returned from a few days of dancing all night in Vegas and quite possibly I sang along very loudly with …

Spring Snowshoeing in Mammoth Lakes for People Who Packed Both Sunscreen and Yaktrax

By Amber Woods on Thursday, April 21, 2022

Attempting to visit the eastern Sierra in early springtime is no easy trip to plan. Info about the trails of the eastern Sierras in the first week of spring is very hard to find online. Any information about what kind of equipment you should bring is like a guessing game. Luckily for me, I bought …

The Best of Southern California’s Springtime Shenanigan’s

By Amber Woods on Saturday, April 16, 2022

It was a Monday in April and there I was poolside with a healthy green juice clenched in my hand and a good book resting at my side. I had spent all morning hiking amongst the wildflowers in a hidden nature preserve just outside of Los Angeles. The skies were the kind of agua blue …

As a travel blogger, I’m always up for a new adventure, especially if it is spring break in Mono County. Whether I’m attending my first hockey game from the swanky skyboxes at T Mobile Stadium in Las Vegas or driving five hundred miles in twelve hours to go from one awesome vacation to the next. …

Spring Break Adventures near Rock Creek Lake

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, April 6, 2022

Of all the trails I ever trekked in the eastern Sierras, the trails above high elevation Rock Creek Lake leading to Mosquito Flats were one of the first aspen-lined paths that made me fall in love with these rugged mountains. Even if this was the first place I ever experienced altitude sickness and spent 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.
