I Can’t Believe it’s not full of Gluten Blueberry Breakfast Coffee Cake

By Amber Woods on Thursday, December 23, 2021

I felt so blessed that even though it was just forty-eight hours after I had my second Covid Vaccine I was out on one of my favorite trails hiking again under the pines even if I still did not feel one hundred percent. I was identifying as vaccinated at that point, my feet were back …

My Winter Salad; Spiced Nuts, Sweet Apples and Homemade Cornbread Croutons

By Amber Woods on Saturday, December 18, 2021

I hate when I order a terrible salad at a really good restaurant. Nothing makes me so mad as when I order a great-sounding winter salad at a cafe and the dressing tastes like a store-bought vinaigrette. Okay, almost nothing makes me that mad. These days clickbait journalism is the bane of my existence. If …

Thrift Your Way to a Merry Christmas

By Amber Woods on Wednesday, December 15, 2021

Some people may see that thrift store fake Christmas tree and think who needs that crap? I do. I’m the one who wants desperately to buy a new gently used, truly loved thrift store fake Christmas tree. But luckily after an entire day of thrift store Christmas shopping, there was no room in the Subaru …

Merry Christmas Shortbread Candy Cane Cookies

By Amber Woods on Monday, December 13, 2021

Let me just make one thing perfectly clear; I hike up eight thousand foot mountains so I can eat shortbread cookies with relatively little guilt. If I am with a group of five or more upbeat Hiker Babes here in Big Bear Lake and at least five ridiculous silly dogs, even better. But what is …

Christmas Cookies for Dummies

By Amber Woods on Monday, December 6, 2021

I’ll be the first one to admit I suck at baking Christmas cookies. It’s not that they don’t taste like sugary-bring-on the diabetes Christmas deliciousness. But my attempt at pine tree cookies or chocolate-covered cherries usually turns out to look like green piles of Christmas poo or maybe something my dog might have thrown up. …

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.
