Welcome to the Wild West; Dog Edition

By Amber Woods on Tuesday, July 21, 2020

After my recent drama-filled day trip to Bodie State Historic Park, I have become one of those dog people who are about to give up on the basic goodness of humans and just spend all my time with my canine BFF. Let’s face it; Most humans are assholes. The last week of a well planned …

The Best Keto Snacks for Trekking Trails in 2020

By Amber Woods on Friday, July 17, 2020

If it’s March in southern California, you can probably find the Hungry Mountaineer sweating her way up a mountainside in a few feet of snow and probably shoveling keto-friendly cheese crackers in her mouth. After a two hour snowshoe up a mountainside where I just burned nearly 1,500 calories, you can bet your ass I’m …

Sausage, Fancy Mushroom and Spinach Pizza Chaffle

By Amber Woods on Saturday, July 11, 2020

India seems like a country that never sleeps. And I don’t mean that in a Las Vegas way where you can find delicious secret pizza at the swanky Cosmopolitan Hotel at three in the morning after dancing half the night away. India is a sleepless country as in, you try to avoid traffic by leaving on …

India Spinach Korma with Lamb Meatballs

By Amber Woods on Sunday, July 5, 2020

After two weeks of being in India, yesterday India almost killed me! Although it didn’t have to do with the crazy hottest curry ever or eating street food. I did something kind of stupid and I actually brought this on myself! If like I, you don’t want to singe your mouth and not enjoy your …

Keto Lasagna with Veal and Zucchini

By Amber Woods on Monday, June 29, 2020

I grew up thinking I hated Italian food. Who knew in my thirties I would discover delicious keto lasagna. As a kid, no carb-filled lasagna or greasy fettuccine alfredo for this mountain girl! This was so many years before I began running half marathons and first heard the term carbo-loading. Up among the pines in …

About Me
Amber Wood
Amber Wood

Hi y’all! I’m Amber, Big Bear’s local Hungry Mountaineer hiking nature guide. I grew up here in the San Bernardino National Forest and 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 hiking guide 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. I know the best hiking and biking trails in these mountains and I have chronicled most of my hikes and adventures in my blog on this website. Please get in touch is you have any questions.
